JAPANESE GREEN FERN-LEAVED MAPLE (A. p., rar. 

 pinnatifiduiri) . A variety that is rather more vigorous 

 than the last, but with green fern-like foliage and graceful 

 drooping habit. 



VARIEGATED FERN-LEAVED MAPLE (A. p., dissectum 

 roseo-pictum) . Equal to the last in vigor and perfection of 

 foliage, but many of the leaves are beautifully bordered and 

 marked with white, pink, and rose-color, especially those 

 on the inside of the shrub. 



FERN-LEAVED BEECH (Fagus sylvaticus, var. Jietero- 

 pliylla). In a heavy soil where other varieties of the oeech 

 succeed this tree will thrive and is very beautiful and 

 desirable. 



CUT-LEAVED ASH (Fraxinus excelsior, var. cnculata}. 

 The leaves of this variety are irregularly cut and divided 

 and the tree presents a very pleasing appearance. Requires 

 a heavy soil. 



CUT-LEAVED OAK (Qiiercus robur, var. laciniata). For 

 a slow-growing tree this is one of the most permanent and 

 in strong soil succeeds with good ordinary care. Like all 

 the other oaks, it is difficult to transplant.
