Red Silver 
Flowering Crab 
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 beau- 
tiful dull maroon-red and _ silver 
makes a remarkable combination 
throughout the season. The some- 
what 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 sum- 
mer. 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. 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 ornamental. 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.
