ORNAMENTAL TREES , 
‘RED SILVER 
FLOWERING CRAB s j 
3-227 —In our opinion, the most colorful Flowering Crab 
ever introduced! Completely red in flower, leaf bark and 
fruit — rich maroon-red from top to bottom. Most flower- 
ing Crabs are preferred due to the mass of blooms which 
they produce for a short time, but the Red Silver is beau- 
tiful from spring until late fall because of its all-over red 
color. The leaves are somewhat cut-leaf, the under side of 2% 
which are somewhat tinseled with silver — the blend % 
of maroon and silver is a unique combination et 
The wonderfully fragrant , 
throughout the season. 
red flowers are large, partially double and altogether ie 
lovely. Delightful red fruits in the fall. Price: 2-Yr., at 
3-4 ft., $2.25 each; 2 for $4.00. :
