The Exciting NEW 
Pyramidal Flowering CRAB TREES 
An entirely new type of Flowering Crab tree has all of us here 
* . gee at the nursery very excited. It is a type that grows in the 
: general shape of a Lombardy Poplar, hence, we refer to 
them as “Pyramidal Flowering Crabs.” We first saw spec’ 
imens of this new type in Canada and were enthalled by 
their beauty and unusual outlines. 
imagination to visualize their tremendous potential 
usefulness as a replacement for the Lombardy Pop- 
Sel lar as a tree to use for screening off undesirable 
sights, to plant as a background on the side or 
back of a lot, as corner plantings for the home, 
—— specimen ornamental trees in a small yard. 
We predict that it will be just a few years before 
they will have replaced the Lombardy Poplar as 
“weeeeeee,.. they are superior in many ways. They are smaller, 
although tall enough to be a good screen (10 to 
15 ft.); they are longer lived by far and last but 
et least, their beauty places them in a class by 
themselves.

M. R. 454 
The buds of M. R. 454 are a deep blood-red, opening late to 
rosy flowers that fade to a clear pink. The tree is literally smoth- 
ered in bloom. It would be excellent even if it were not pyram- 
idal in shape. 4-5 ft., $3.35 each; 2 for $6.35. 3-4 ft., $2.65 each; 
2 for $5.00. We pay the Postage. 
STRATHMORE 
We like Strathmore for its foliage as well as for its habit of 
growth. The leaves remain reddish all summer and turn strik- 
ingly red and scarlet in autumn. The flowers resemble those of 
Hopa but are somewhat darker. 4-5 ft., $3.35 each; 2 for $6.35. 
3-4 ft., $2.65 each; 2 for $5.00. We pay the Postage.
