For superb flowering beauty on the lawn or 
boulevard, none excels May Day Tree. Its fra- 
grant, fine white flowers early in spring create 
a massive bouquet of loveliness. The individ- 
ual flowers are fully a half inch across. A few 
days later the leaves unfold in all their glossy 
beauty, far ahead of all the other trees. 

As this tree is always in bloom by the first 
of May here it was well named the May Day 
Tree, and the long racemes of fragrant white 
flowers, so thickly set on fine branches, may 
well be used for garlands and to crown the 
Queen of May. The mass-like clusters are a 
beautiful sight and are well adapted to cut- 
ting for the house or for early spring lawn

The shiny black cherry fruits which follow

ble and good for jelly, are soon claimed by 
ALLURING the birds in preference to what we consider 
' better fruit. Thus our good fruit is spared, yet 
WONDERFUL the birds are fed. 
PINK GIANT. . Lovely New 
Pink Flowering Crab 
A CARL A. HANSEN INTRODUCTION 


We have seen many flowering crabs, but this is the first 
one at which we are completely awed. The flowers are 
huge,. brilliantly pink and the showiest things imaginable. 
Among our many groups of flowering crabs, Pink Giant, with 
its gaudy blossoms, outshines all the rest. In addition to 
their large size, they open wide, which tends to make them 
look even bigger. After its gorgeous flowers, come small, 
brilliantly red fruits which hang on well into the winter and 
make fine feed for the birds. 
The tree is of strong, upright growth with heavy branches 
and main trunk. The leaves on the tips of the branches are 
tinted with red, giving the whole tree an unusually decora- 
tive effect, even when not in bloom. 
Pink Giant is of a very hardy strain, and tests so far 
have proved it should thrive to the Canadian line and be- 
yond. In the nursery it is a very vigorous and an unusually 
fast growing tree, and as far as we know immune to fire 
blight. Large, 4-5 Ft., $1.25 Each; Medium, 3-4 Ft., $1.00 Each; 
Lovely Large Open Flowers. Small, 2-3 Ft., 65c Each.
