~Hopa Crab—When this tree is at its best, it is 
the prettiest thing imaginable. The flowers are 
dark pink and just cover the tree. It is especially 
nice when planted near other white flowering ap- 
ple trees. It is an excellent pollinator for other 
apple trees. 4-5 ft., each $2.50. 
Basswood—5-6 ft., each $2.50. 
Bolleana Poplar—We like it better than the Lom- 
bardy for a tall slim, tree. It has leaves like the 
silver maple. 4-5 ft., each $1.50; 3-4 ft., $1.00. 
Lombardy Poplar—Useful as a fast growing 
screen, although not long lived. At these low 
prices you can afford to plant them close. Each 
50c, 5 for $2.00. 
American Elm—tThe standard shade and_ boule- 
vard tree. The 8 to 10 ft. size is perhaps the 
best average size to use. Each $3,00; 6-8 ft., $2; 
5-6 ft., $1.50. 
Maple, Silver—This tree will not grow on heavy 
gumbo soil, but does real weil on light soil. 7-8 
ft., each $3.00. 
Russian Olive—Silver colored leaves stay  untli 
late in the winter. Small yellow flowers are 
hardly noticeable but have pleasing fragrance. 
Tree will grow about 20 feet high. 2-3 ft,, 
each $1.00. 
RED SPLENDOR 
The name itself gives the best description 
of this new flowering crab. Out of 300 Red 
Silver Crab seedlings we set out some years 
ago, this one was thought worthy of intro- 
ducing because of its unusual brilliance 
and beauty. Covered with red buds and 
flowers to the very tips of its long slender 
branches, it presents a glowing picture. A 
valuable feature is its long blooming sea- 
son. The flowers open red, change to 
pink, then to white and are attractive 
“until the last drop.” In the spring the 
leaves are purplish green and remain a 
healthy color through the summer. All fall 
the tree is loaded with bright red berries. 
Blooming size, 5-6 ft. each $3,00. One year, 
3 ft., each $2.00. 
Mountain Ash—tThis tree is found in abundance 
in eastern Minnesota growing wild. It likes plen- 
ty moisture and does best if grown as a bush, 
5-6 ft., $2.50. 
Niobe Weeping Willow—4-5 ft., $1.00,
