Siluer 
Crate 
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 maroom-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, but Red 
Silver is really red. The tree 
is very hardy here with us 
and, in our opinion, is the 
te Oy oe Paine Ihe DOLGO Crab pou IN FRUIT 

Flowering Crabs. Purely orna- 
mental. People who live in a The Dolgo is known as the great dual purpose Crab. The trees, which 
severe climate such as ours seldom grow over 12 feet high, are very shapely and neat in appearance 
simply marvel when they see and develop into a beautiful small lawn tree. It is extremely hardy and 
for the first time the Red Sil- after it has attained its growth will last for many years. In the spring it is 
ver Crab in full bloom. 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 
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 onus This 
Crab is not grown for its or- 
DOECOUNEECOWER namental qualities alone but 
is grown commercially for 
the fruit, which readily sells 
at a big price. One of our 
customers 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 or- 
chards for the fruit, which 
sells for high prices. 
4 to 5 ft., $1.25. 5 to 6 ft., 
$1.50. Select 6 to 7 ft., $1.75. 
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.
