Shade “/nxees 
Shade trees are a long time investment 
so should be selected with the utmost 
care. While the hardwood trees are not 
fast growers they definitely make the 
best permanent trees. Good trees are 
scarce. We have one of the finest and 
largest assortments in this area. Better 
drive out and make your own selections! 
ALMEY CRAB 
The New, The Finest Crimson 
Flowering Crab

appearance of a white, five pointed 
star surrounded by crimson. From a 
distance the star effect is not appar- 
ent and the tree gives the effect of a 
magnificent mass of crimson. Flowers 
very early in it’s life.

grower, quickly reaching it’s mature 
size of 14 to 16 feet. The tree is mo-
