They are extremely hardy and will thrive 
in most any position or exposure. We list 
the two most popular varieties. 
BECHTEL’S. A double form of the Wild 
Crab. In the spring is covered with 
double pink blossoms exactly like small 
Roses. They have a delicate violet 
scent. A dwarf compact grower which 
makes a fine lawn specimen.

HOPA. Beautiful in bloom, in foliage, in 
fruit. Flower buds are bright red, open-

Perfectly hardy—easy to grow.

WHITE FLOWERING DOGWOOD. One 
of our most handsome native trees. In 
the spring its large white flowers are

turns pink, salmon, scarlet and ma- 
roon in the fall.
