RED SILVER 
FLOWERING CRAB 
A remarkable new lawn tree, red 
from top to bottom in bark, tree, 
and leaf. The silver refers to the 
delicate silver on the under side of 
the leaves. This blending of a beau- 
tiful- dull maroon-red and_ silver 
makes a remarkable combination 
throughout the season. The some- 
what cut-leaf character of the leaves 
adds to the striking beauty of this 
unique tree. The leaves fade but 
slightly during the heat of the sum- 
mer. Not only is the tree red, but 
pl Fee, Res 5, ul the blossoms are the reddest of any 
‘So ane eee 36 ; . . : e TReRpee “— we have ever seen on a Flowering 
eee Sy or : . Crab. The buds are red, a rich dark 
se F qo es. red, and the blossoms when they 
r en, open, are just as red as the buds. 
7 * Most so-called red Flowering Crabs 
are really pink. Red Silver is really 
red. The tree is very hardy here 
with us and, in our opinion, is the 
best by far of all the red Flowering 
Crabs. Purely ornamental. People 
who live in a severe climate such as 
ours simply marvel when they see 
for the first time the Red Silver 
Crab in full bloom.

BEAUTY (Dual Purpose) 
Many people are looking for just such a Crab as Beauty 
Crab. The tree is the most upright growing Apple or 
Crab tree we know. We have a specimen in our private 
garden that stands about 18 feet high with a limb spread 
of not more than 10 feet. In growth it resembles the 
Lombardy or Bolleana Poplar and will fit into a planting 
where either of these trees would. It is a tree one would 
like to plant against the corner of a house or as a sentinel 
or accent tree along the back line of the yard. Besides 
fruit are tremendous and very heavy on the limbs. If not 
tied up so as not to bend over when so loaded they will 
bend way over and when the fruit is gone will stay in 
this position. 5 to 6 ft. trees, $2.50
