The DOLGO Crack 
The Dolgo Crab 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 commercially 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 
Flowering Crab.” 
The Dolgo is now 
being planted in 
northern orchards 
for the fruit which 
sells for high prices.

Several years ago my 
friends gave me one of 
- your Flowering Crab 
trees. It has been a joy 
to me and to all of my 
friends, when in bloom, 
and a greater pleasure 
when the fruit ripens 
and we all make pickles 
and jelly. I live on the 
way to Florida and I 
have had passersby come 
in to my home and ask: 
“What is that tree and 
where did it come 
} . . from?” Then they want-

color.”

MRS. F. B. that it was saved. In time it bore fruit of fine appearance and splendid quality. As the tree 
aged, it began to bear immense crops of beautiful little apples. One season a record was kept 
of 26 bushels.

Than This same effect may be produced by planting Flowering Crabs which are hardy everywhere. One of our Oregon 
friends wrote us as follows: “You have no idea what a valuable tree the Flowering Crab is out here even if we do have 
Minnesota and enjoy the Japanese Cherries. Both varieties have their place.”
