Leaves of a Japanese Maple 



This variety of Japanese maple is prized for the color of 

 the leaves, and very justly so. There are other varieties, how- 

 ever, in which the leaves are curiously reticulate, some of them giving 

 the appearance of leaves that have been dissected so that only 

 the ribs remain. It would be of great interest to cross 

 maples of these two types, noting the results in 

 the first and second generations.
