RED SILVER 
_4 Flowering Crab 
A CARL A. HANSEN INTRODUCTION 


A REAL WORTHWHILE 
ORNAMENTAL 
The glorious flowering crab that is completely 
red in flower, leaf, bark and fruit. Makes a fine 
lawn tree. Rich maroon red from top to bottom. 
This is a very remarkable new ornamental recently 
introduced by Carl A. Hansen. Most flowering 
crabs are desirable because of the mass of blooms 
which they have in such profusion for a short time, 
but the Red Silver is beautiful from spring until 
late fall because of its all-over red color. 
The underside of the leaves are tinseled with 
silver, a touch that makes it all the more beautiful 
as the blend of maroon and silver is a unique com- 
bination throughout the season. The leaves are 
somewhat cut-leaf, adding to the striking beauty 
of this new ornamental. 
This small tree, graceful in its lines, with such 
strikingly beautiful foliage, has a color so intense 
that it is little affected by the summer heat. The 
wonderfully fragrant red flowers are large, par- 
tially double and altogether lovely. One of the 
greatest hardy flowering crabs ever introduced. 
Showy and different.

MAY DAY 
THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING LAWN TREE 
For superb flowering beauty on the lawn or 
boulevard, none excels May Day. Its long, fine 
white flowers early in spring create a massive 
bouquet of loveliness that is alluringly wonderful 
and altogether lovely. . 
It is the first tree to show green in spring and 
is practically in full leaf long before many of the 
common trees begin to leaf. 
The flowers are a wonderment in themselves, 
blooming early in spring, in April or early May, 
and always several weeks earlier than any of the 
other flowering trees. The flowers are large, pure 
white and very fragrant. Their mass-like clusters 
are a beautiful sight and are well adapted to cut- 
ting for the house or early spring lawn festivals.
