RED SILVER CRAB 
The landscape and ornamental value of the Flowering Crab tree is not generally appreciated. As a specimen 
tree or planted in the border for height and background, the crab is superb. Groups of three to five trees where 
space permits, using several varieties for variation in color of flowers, gives wonderful color effect. Such groups 
stop the passersby and cause them to exclaim. The effect of such planting arouses more attention and admira- 
tion than any other flowering trees in the West. The following varieties are especially selected for the West and 
Northwest. 
HOPA. A Prof. Hansen variety. New flowering crab with good foliage, red bud, with beau- 
tiful rose-colored blossoms. The color of the leaves and bark liven up the landscape and 
give it a cheerful aspect throughout the year, the foliage for summer color and the reddish- 
colored bark and fruit for winter scenery. Becoming a favorite in the West and North. 
RED SILVER. A remarkable new lawn tree, red from top to bottom, in leaf, blossom and 
fruit. The silver refers to the delicate silver on the under side of the leaves. Not only 
are the leaves red, but the blossoms are the reddest of any of the Flowering Crabs. Red 
fruit. We recommend Red Silver most highly. 
ELEY. Attractive reddish foliage in spring changing to pink. Very bright red flowers, fol- 
lowed by attractive red fruit in late summer and fall, which cling to tree after leaves have 
fallen. 
DOLGO. Hansen variety. Buds pink, opening into a tree covering of beautiful full white 
flowers. Small, brilliant red fruit. Excellent for jell and pickling. Hang on into winter. Au- bah 
tumn foliage is yellow, orange and scarlet. HOPA CRAB
