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 beautiful dull ma- 
roon-red and silver makes a remark- 
able combination throughout the sea- 
son. The somewhat cut-leaf charac- 
ter of the leaves adds to the striking 
beauty of this unique tree. The leaves 
fade but slightly during the heat of 
the summer. Not only is the tree red, 
but the blossoms are the reddest of 
any we have ever seen on a Flowering 
Crab. The buds are red, a rich dark 
red, and the blossoms when they 
open, are just as red as the buds. 
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.

Back in 1944 I purchased a Red Silver and a Beauty 
Crab from you and both trees have turned out to be 
beautiful specimens.
