FLOWERING CRABS 
Crab, Bechtel’s Double Fiowering. The fra- 
grant, pink flowers resemble miniature Roses. The 
tree is oval in shape and attains a spread of about 
10 feet and a height of 15 feet. 
Crab, Dolgo. This is an especially valuable Crab 
because it is equally attractive when in flower or 
when laden with its abundant, brilliant red fruits. 
The fruit is very desirable for jelly. (See Bailey’s 
Crab Apples, page 6. 
Crab, Hopa. Beautiful deep red blossoms distin- 
guish the Hopa Crab from other Crabs. Many con- 
sider it the most beautiful of the flowering Crabs. 
The foliage is dark green with a red cast. The small 
red fruits remain on the tree until autumn. The tree 
is half-round in shape, growing to a spread of 15 
feet and a height of 20 feet. 
Crab, Red Silver. The attractive foliage of this 
Crab is cut-leaved, maroon-red above and silver be- 
neath. The fruit is a bright red. Height of 25 to 30 
feet.

Bring beauty and comfort to your home landscape 
by wise selection and placement of trees. Trees are 
the backbone of nearly all landscape plantings. When 
planning your order give careful 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 build- 
ings. 
4. To screen undesirable views. 
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. 
SHADE TREES 
(Prices on page 14.) 
Ash, Green (Fraxinus pennsylvanica lanceolata). 
This Ash has much to recommend it as a shade tree. 
It is fast-growing, long-lived, drought resistant and 
relatively free of disease and insect problems. In 
fall the rich green foliage becomes an attractive yel- 
low. Height 60 feet, spread 40 to 50 feet. 
Ash, Mountain (Sorbus americana). The Moun- 
tain Ash is an attractive ornamental, especially in 
late summer when it is covered with clusters of red 
berries. Height 35 feet, spread 25 feet.
