HOPA CRAB. From a purely ornamental standpoint the Hopa is with- 
out 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 any- 
where it may be placed. The bark is a rich dark 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 make a good jelly. 
Select 3 to 4-ft. trees, each $1.75; 2 for $3.25. 4 to 5-ft trees, 
each $2.25; 2 for $4.00. 5 to 6-ft. trees, each $2.50; 2 for $4.75.

Almey Crab 
The Best in Flowering Crabs 
Excellent for Every Locality 
ALMEY. (Miss Preston.) A strong growing tree 
producing large blossoms of glistening red. Each 
petal has white markings at the base, giving the 
effect of a five-pointed star. When this tree is 
in bloom it is a mass of flaming red flowers. This 
tree should bloom well the second year and the 
blossoms are often the size of a dollar. A real 
sensation. This variety takes the place of the Red 
Silver as it is a much better growing tree. 3 to 
4 ft., each $2.25; 2 for $4.00. 4 to 5 ft., each 
$2.75;-2 for $5.00. 5 to 6 ft., each $3.50; 
2 for $6.75. 
DOLGO. This is the great dual purpose Crab. The 
trees, which seldom grow over 12 feet high, 
are very shapely and neat in appearance and de- 
velop into a beautiful small lawn tree. It is ex- 
tremely 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 orna- 
mental sight. The fruit makes up into jelly of the fin- 
est 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 beau- 
tiful thing I ever saw in the line of a Flowering Crab.” 
The Dolgo is now being planted in northern orchards 
for the fruit which sells for high prices. Select 4 to 5-ft. 
trees, each $1.50; 2 for $2.75. 5 to 6-ft., each $1.75; 
2 for $3.25. 
ELEY! (Ornamental.) Many of the European and Asiatic Flowering 
Crabs are not desirable, but this one has done so well with us even 
in our cold climate that we are keeping it on our list. The flowers are 
single and reddish pink. The fruit which follows is a very bright 
red. The foliage in the spring is a peculiar orange-red, very brilliant 
and extremely noticeable and continues so during the entire summer. 
When the spring growing season is over, the foliage takes on a 
very rich maroon greenish tinge. Select 4 to 5-ft. trees, each $2.00; 
2 for $4.75.
