Siluer 
Cra 
A remarkable new lawn 
tree, red from top to bottom 
in bark, tree, and leaf. The 
silver refers to the delicate 
silvet 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 
Silver is really red. The tree 
is very hardy here with us 
and, in our opinion, is the 
best by far of all the red 
Flowering Crabs. Purely orna- 
mental. People who live in a 
severe climate such as ours 
simply marvel when they see 
for the first time the Red 
Silver Crab in full bloom.

The Dolgo is known as the great dual-purpose Crab. The trees, which 
seldom grow over 12 feet high, are very shapely and neat in appearance and 
develop into a beautiful small lawn tree. It is extremely hardy and after it has 
attained its growth will last for many years. In the spring it is 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 meer 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 color. This Crab is not grown for its ornamental 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 orchards 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 I 
am well pleased with them.” 
Mrs. Eugenie T. Doherty.
