Green Ash—A_ good tree to grow where space is 
limited. It grows tall, but does not have a wide 
top. Has good fall colors, Not bothered much by 
insects and diseases. 5-7 ft., $2.00. 
Birch, White—Always good looking, but particu- 
larly so in the winter time if planted together 
with evergreens, golden willow and red dogwood. 
The well-landscaped campus at the Northwest 
School at Crookston has several groups of birch 
effectively arranged. 5-6 ft., $2.50; 2-3 ft., $1.00. 
Weeping Birch—A tree of year-round beauty, 
very fast growing. 4-5 ft., $5.00. 
Minnesota Hawthorn or Thornapple—Most ev- 
eryone is familiar with the wild thornapple. Now 
our Minnesota Experiment station has come out 
with a new selection that should be good. Pretty 
when covered with white flowers in May, and 
still prettier when loaded with red berries in the 
fall. 18-24 inches, each $1.75. 
“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 feet, each $2.50. 
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; 6-8 ft., transplant, $1.50. 
American Elm—The standard shade and boule- 
vard tree. This 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.

\\ 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 growing 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. 
3 ft., each $2; blooming size, 4-5 ft., $2.50.
