CRAB, Flame. (Minnesota No. 635.) This is primarily an orna- 
mental crab but the fruits, though small, make an excellent 
red jelly. The flowers are similar to other crabs but are borne 
in great profusion. The tree is compact in growth and of 
medium size, suitable for lawn planting. The fruits are a 
brilliant red and hang tenaciously to the trees until mid- 
winter, months after the leaves have fallen. The effect_is a 
mass of flaming red color from August until November. Trees 
5 to 6 feet high often have 250 or more brilliant red colored 
crabs. The fruit is attractive to winter birds.

CRAB, Hopa. The red new foliage and the beautiful single red 
blossoms which completely cover the-tree in the early spring 
make this tree the most attractive of spring flowering orna- 
mental trees. The fruit is small, red inside and out, remaining 
on the tree until autumn. The tree is hardy and blooms while 
very young. A more delightful small tree, for a restricted 
space, could not be found.

ELM, Chinese Hybrid. This tree is the product of a cross between 
the American Elm and the Chinese Elm. Consequently it is a 
blend of the characteristics of these two. Leaves are larger 
than the Chinese Elm and branches are not as numerous. The 
general form of the tree resembles the American Elm. A 
peculiar characteristic is that the tree is even more rapid in 
growth than the Chinese Elm, which is a rapid grower. The 
root system is deep rather than soreading.

ELM, Lake City. The outstanding characteristic of the Lake 
City Elm is its upright manner of growth, which develops a 
conical shaped tree. The foliage is a dark glossy green and 
of large size. The branches are strong and the tree makes

can Elm is avoided when the Lake City Elm is used.
