HOPA 
FLOWERING 
CRAB 
From a purely ornamental standpoint 
the Hopa is without doubt the most beau- 
tiful pink Flowering Crab that can be 
grown in the North. It is perfectly hardy 
anywhere in our state. It develops into a 
beautiful, graceful, medium sized tree that 
is an ornament anywhere it may be placed. 
The bark is a rich dark blackish red. The 
buds ‘and foliage are a noticeable reddish 
purple, and the tree, when in bloom, is 
covered with large single, deep rose-col- 
ored blossoms which continue long on the 
tree, to be followed by quantities of small 
reddish fleshed, attractive fruit which 
makes a good jelly. 
The Beauty, Dolgo, and Hopa are all 
in bloom at practically the same time, with 
the Red Silver bursting into bloom just as 
the others are starting to pass.

BEAUTY 
Many people are looking for just such a Crab as Beauty 
Crab. The tree is the most upright growing Apple or Crab 
tree we know. We have a specimen in our private garden 
that stands about 18 feet high with a limb spread of not 
more than 7 feet. In growth it resembles the Lombardy or 
Bolleana Poplar and will fit into a planting where either 
of these trees would. It is a tree one would like to plant 
against the corner of a house or as a sentinel or accent tree 
along the back line of the yard. Besides being a pretty 
tree, it bears great quantities of brilliant deep red Crabs 
an inch in diameter, which are beautiful on the tree and 
also make wonderful sauce.

“Have greatly enjoyed the Flowering Crabs we purchased from 
you and wish to state that they have the most delicious flavor I ever 
tasted. I notice you state that Hopa is a flowering variety only. 
The little Crabs are very bitter when eaten raw but when made 
into jam they taste and look exactly like Cranberries. They are 
of the best of the Crabs, for you would hardly know it wasn’t 
Cranberry.” MRS Ee BOE,
