larger size than Hopa, and blooms 
most profusely, therefore often

uable, as it is the finest dark red 
jelly crab in existence. Price of

Hopa is the word 
Hopa Crab for ‘‘beautiful’’ in 
the language of the Sioux Indian, 
and the tree deserves this name 
very well. It is a striking sight 
when in bloom owing to its wealth 
of beautiful deep  rose-crimson 
blossoms, and in the fall when the 
miniature apples of this tree take 
on a bright red color, the tree once 
more becomes very pretty. The 
fruit can be used for jelly, but 
usually runs very small in size.
