Siluer 
2 
A remarkable new lawn tree, 
red from top to bottom in 
bark, tree, and leaf. The silver 
refers to the delicate silver on 
the under side of the leaves. 
This blending of a beautiful 
dull maroon-red and _ silver 
makes a remarkable combina- 
tion throughout the season. 
The somewhat cut-leaf charac- 
ter of the leaves adds to the 
striking beauty of this unique 
tree. The leaves fade but 
slightly during the heat of the 
summer. Not only is the tree 
red, but the blossoms are the 
reddest of any we have ever 
seen on a Flowering Crab. The 
buds are red, a rich dark red, 
and the blossoms when they 
open, are just as red as the 
buds. Most so-called red Flow- 
ering Crabs are really pink, 
but Red Silver is really red. 
The tree is very hardy here 
with us and, in our opinion, is 
the best by far of all the red 
Flowering Crabs. Purely orna- 
mental. People who live in a 
severe climate such as ours simply mar- 
vel when they see for the first time the SPECIAL CRAB OFFER

a The 
DOLGO 
Crab 
The Dolgo is known as the great 
dual purpose Crab. The trees, 
which seldom grow over 12 feet 
high, are very shapely and neat in 
appearance and develop into a 
beautiful small lawn tree. It is ex- 
tremely hardy and after it has at- 
tained its growth will last for many 
years. In the spring it is one solid 
mass of large white blooms, which 
are followed by a great crop of 
Crab apples. These Crabs are a 
brilliant red about an inch in diam- 
eter and an inch and a half long. 
The fruit is so brilliant in color and 
so abundant on the tree that it 
makes a wonderful ornamental sight. 
The fruit makes up into jelly of 
the finest flavor and a beautiful red 
color. This Crab is not grown for 
its ornamental qualities alone but is 
grown commercially for the fruit 
which readily sells at a big price. 
One of our customers from Wash- 
ington, D. C., writes us: “‘The 
Dolgo, when in fruit, is the most 
beautiful thing I ever saw in the 
line of a Flowering Crab.’ The 
Dolgo is now being planted in 
northern orchards for the fruit 
which sells for high prices.
