(SILK TREE) M ( M 0 S§ A 
A rapid growing tree with spread- 
ing branches and low, flat-topped 
head. Fine, feathery foliage; pro- 
fusion of pink flowers in early 
summer for period of several 
weeks. 
A very useful and ornamental 
tree that is much in demand be- 
cause of its ornamental effect and 
where dense shade is not desired. 
Grows to height and spread of 
about 25 ft. 35c, 95c, 2.50, 3.50, 
5.00, 7.50 each. 
FLOWERING CRABAPPLE 
Bechtol’s double pink flowering crab is a rather dwarfy tree that makes 
one of the loveliest sights in our nursery in the spring. Little trees 
3 to 4 ft. high are literally covered with blooms that I think make 
them as lovely as any camelia. They rival the beauty of the flowering 
cherries of Washington. BR, 95c, $2.45, $4.95. 
Hopa is a flowering crab of normal tree size, whose chief attraction 
is perhaps in its small, brilliantly colored red fruits that hang in at- 
tractive clusters to make your eyes bulge and your moth water, for 
they are both beautiful and edible—make fine jelly. BR $1.45 and $2.45. 
FLOWERING PEACH. Perhaps no tree makes more of a show in the 
spring than flowering peach. It’s a real Prima Dona, and if you 
have space for it, you’ll not be disappointed. A few years ago, we 
planted one in our orchard by mistake and when it came into full 
bloom a man offered me $50.00 for it. Double white, pink, red, BR 
95c, $1.45, $1.95. Extra large trees in double white and red, $4.95. 
RED BUD (American). Sometimes called ‘Judas tree.’’ Early spring blooms 
before leaves appear. Fast growing. Well known. BR 8385c, 95c, $1.45, 
$1.95, $2.45. Green Thumb size on page 9. 
The Hardy Chinese 
JUJUBE 
Delightful to See! Delicious to Eat! 
@® One of the most unusual and delightful combination fruiting and 
decorative trees ever brought to this country—this one from far-away China. 
e@ Fruit is a light chocolate in color, flesh similar to apple, sweet and 
crisp. Seed similar to date seed, hence the name ‘‘Chinese Date.” 
® Makes delicious sweet pickles; cooked | 
in sugar syrup and dried, they rival 
sugared dates; and we'll put Jujube but- 
ter up against apple butter any time. 
@® Bears heavily and consistently. I don’t 
believe I have ever seen it miss a crop. 
Seems free of insects and diseases except 
cotton root rot. Thrives where other 
fruits don’t grow because of extreme con- 
ditions of soil and climate. Ripens July 
to November. 
Its fruit is borne on the leaves, and 
are very attractive. Flowers fragrant 
but inconspicuous. Main attractiveness of 
the tree lies in the glossy green leaves 
and attractive coloring of hundreds of 
fruits. 
Tree grows 30-35 feet, and is beautiful in any landscape ay 
Lang Variety, one of best. BR $1.95, $2.95 each.
