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 maroon-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

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 Ornamental Lawn

alone but is grown commer- - 
cially for the fruit, which Dolgo in Flower 
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 be- 
ing planted in northern or- 
chards for the fruit, which sells 
for high prices.

“The Dolgo Crab Apple trees 
purchased from you in spring, 
1940, are doing splendidly. I 
have 13 of them surrounding my 
dooryard, and several of them 
had fruit on last year. They are 
true to your description and [ 
am well pleased with them.”

Crab Jelly 
The Beauty, Dolgo, Flame and 
Scugog 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.
