A New Flowering Crab—Strikingly beautiful— 
this was our first impression of this tree as it 
blossomed here for the first time two years ago. 
The flowers are about the same deep pink color 
as the Hopa, but the tree is upright and the plac- 
ing of the flowers. along long slender branches 
makes it look like a huge delphinium. The foliage 
is a distinctive healthy purplish green, combining’ 
harmoniously with the blossoms. Loaded all fall 
with bright red berries. 3-4 ft., each $2.00. 
Mountain Ash—This tree is found in abundance

ty moisture and does best if grown like a bush.

Niobe Weeping Willow—3-4 ft., $1.00. 
Hedges 
For a tall hedge, Honeysuckle serves the purpose 
to better advantage than most shrubs because of 
its rapid growth and adaptability to severe con- 
ditions. For windbreak purposes it is ideal, as it 
grows to a height of 10 to 15 feet. In May the 
bush is full of flowers, followed later on in the 
summer with red berries. The new Zabeli has 
brilliant red flowers, good foliage, dense growth. 
12-18 in., 100 for $16.00. 
Cotoneaster—The very best for a trimmed hedge. 
Grows fast, glossy green leaves appear early and 
usually turn red in late fall. The Riverside Me- 
morial Cemetery at Mahnomen has one-fourth of 
a mile of this hedge. 6-10 inch, $12 for 100.
