THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST. 



of the Silver Maple also, having much 

 the same habit of growth as the one 

 last mentioned, is remai-kable for having 

 its leaves lobed almost to the midrib in 

 such fashion as to give to the leaf a 

 three parted appearance ; hence it has 

 received the name of three-parted 

 Maple. 



There are also cutleaved varieties of 

 the Norway Maple. One of these has 

 its leaves divided into thi'ee parts much 

 after the style of the one last mentioned. 

 Another is known as Lorberg's, which 

 differs but little from the preceding. 

 The most distinct and unique cutleaved 

 vai'iety of this sjiecies of maple is known 

 as the Eagle's Claw. The leaves of 

 this are not only very deeply cut, but 

 the divisions are very sharp pointed, 

 giving to them such a marked resem- 

 blance to the claws of some large bird 

 of prey, that it is very appropriately 

 designated by the name it bears. 



These maples, as indeed is nearly all 

 the genus, are hardy, enduring our 

 climate perfectly ; they flourish in 

 almost every soil, are seldom defoliated 

 by insects, and are withal very orna- 

 mental.
