T 7 Crimson King Maple (Plant Patent No. 
735). Spring 1949 was the first time we offered 
this remarkable new tree. Neighbors who see it 
want one just like it. It is the best purple-leaved 
Maple, a great improvement over the Schwed- 
ler’s Purple Leaf Maple. In the spring the foliage 
is a richer purple and moreover Crimson [King 


carries this deep purple foliage through the entire 

season until the leaves drop in the fall. It adds a 
touch of color to the landscape, a welcome change 
from the prevalent greens. Very hardy and easy 
to grow. Nota rapid grower but each leaf, every 
inch is strikingly attractive. These trees are one- 
year old mostly not branched, but they start 
branching soon after planting. Too large to go by 
parcel post, we ship them by express not prepaid.

T 32 Jay Darling—This new variety is the favorite of Mr. den Boer, Des Moines, 
Iowa, the eminent Flowering Crab authority. Similar to Hopa but the flowers are a 
deeper color, hold the color longer. The fruit is a brighter red and hangs longer on the 
tree. The tree is more rounded in shape and does not grow as tall. The foliage in the 
spring is a deeper color and holds this color longer. The 
birds like the fruit and those that winter over eat the 
fallen fruit all winter when they can get to it. In the 
spring when the robins return, Mr. den Boer says that 
the first food they look for are the fallen fruits under the 
Jay Darling trees. The fruit makes wonderful jelly.
