Siluer 
> 
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 
combination throughout the 
season. The somewhat cut- 
leaf character 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 Flowering 
Crabs are really pink. 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 marvel when they see 
for the first time the Red Sil- 
ver Crab in full bloom. 
3- to 4-ft., $1.00; 4- to 
5-ft., $1.25; 5- to 6-ft., $1.50; 
select 6- to 7-ft., $1.75. 
DOLGO IN FLOWER 
The 
OLGO 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 extremely hardy and 
after it has attained 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 diameter 
and an inch and a half long. The fruit is so brilliant in color and so abun- 
dant 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 orna- 
mental qualities alone but is 
grown commercially for the 
fruit which readily sells at 
a big price. One of our cus- 
tomers from Washington, 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. 
3- to 4-ft., $1.00; 4- to 5- 
ft., $1.25; 5- to 6-ft., $1.50. 
Crab Jelly 
The Beauty, Dolgo, and 
Flame make wonderfully fine 
jelly; each ‘with a distinctly 
different flavor. Mix equal 
parts of juice and sugar, and 
make as you would any other 
jelly. This combination alone 
will jell nicely.
