T40—CUT-LEAF WEEPING BIRCH. (Betula pendula laciniata). 
Graceful charm and beauty are personified in this very popular 
tree. Develops artistic white bark, drooping limbs, and small, 
finely cut leaves. Very effective when used in groups of two 
or three, or to set off the more compact lines of evergreens. Set 
deeply and firmly in good soil as soon as received, without ex- 
posing the roots to the air, giving it lots of water until well es- 
tablished. This is one tree that should not be top pruned ex- 
cept to nip back any dried twigs or branches. 35 to 50 feet at 
maturity. =

Crab to Date! Pat. No. 939. This new, superb, rich crimson red, 
semi-double Flowering Crab was developed by the famous ex-

years of breeding and selecting have gone into the creation of 
this, his choicest specimen. It is very hardy and can be grown

lowing the vivid flowers is a heavy covering of small purple-red 
fruit. The picture on page 5 shows a 6-yr.-old specimen at the 
height of its glorious bloom.
