Bring beauty and comfort to your home land- 
scape by wise selection and placement of trees. 
Trees are the backbone of nearly all landscape 
plantings. When planning your order give care- 
ful consideration to these important uses of trees: 
1. To provide shade in the desired locations on 
the lawn and buildings, at different times of 
the day. 
2. To frame the home and its views. 
3. To provide a background for gardens and 
buildings. 
4. To screen undesirable views. 
5. To protect from cold winter winds. (See 
Bailey’s Special Shelter Belt Offer, pages 15- 
18). 
6. To provide color in flower, foliage or fruit.

Crab, Bechtel’s Double Flowering. Here

fragrant, pink flowers resemble miniature Roses.

about 10 feet and a height of 15 feet. 
Crab, Dolgo. This is an especially valuable

er or when laden with its abundant, brilliant red 
fruits. The fruit may be used for jelly or eaten 
fresh. (See Bailey’s Crab Apples, page 5). 
Crab, Hopa. Beautiful deep red blossoms dis-

consider it the most beautiful of the flowering 
Crabs. The foliage is dark green with a red cast.

autumn. The tree is half-round in shape, growing 
to a spread of 15 feet and a height of 20 feet.
