HOPA 
FLOWERING 
CRAB 
From a purely ornamental stand- 
point the Hopa is without doubt the 
most beautiful pink Flowering Crab 
that can be grown in the North. It 
is perfectly hardy anywhere in our 
state. It develops into a beautiful, 
graceful, medium sized tree that is 
an ornament anywhere it may be 
placed. The bark is a rich blackish 
red. The buds and foliage are a 
noticeable reddish purple, and the 
tree, when in bloom, is covered with 
large single, deep rose-colored blos- 
soms which continue long on the 
tree, to be followed by quantities of 
small reddish fleshed, attractive fruit 
which makes good jelly. 
The Beauty, Dolgo, and Hopa are 
all in bloom at practically the same 
time, with the Red Silver bursting 
into bloom just as the others are 
starting to pass. 
Strong 3 to 4 ft. trees, $1.25; 4 to 
5 ft. trees, $1.50; 5 to 6 ft. trees, 
$2.00; 6 to 7 ft. trees, $2.50. 
Above the Hopa is shown in bush form. Below is an illustration of the Hopa grown in tree form. Our 
trees are all branched fow and if no further trimming is done, they will develop bush form. If trimmed slightly, 
they will develop tree form. For the lawn, we prefer tree form. 
The DOLGO Crab 
The Dolgo is known as the great dual purpose Crab. The trees, which seldom grow over 12 feet high, 
are very shapely and neat in appearance and develop into a beautiful small lawn tree. It is extremely 
hardy and after it has attained its growth will last for many years. In the spring it is one solid mass of 
large white blooms, which are followed by a great crop of Crab Apples. These Crabs are a brilliant red 
about an inch in diameter and an inch and a half long. The fruit is so brilliant in color and so abundant 
on the tree that it makes a wonderful ornamental sight. The fruit makes up into jelly of the finest flavor 
and a beautiful red color. This Crab is not grown for its ornamental qualities alone but is grown commer- 
Dolgo in Fruit cially for the fruit which readily sells at a big price. One of our customers from Washington, D. C., writes 
us: “The Dolgo, when in fruit, is the most beautiful thing I ever saw in the line of a Flowering Crab.”
