Blood Red 

 Japanese Maples 



American Grown 



No other tree or shrub to-day has such 

 intense, blcod-red foliage as this beautiful 

 Japanese Maple. It commands attention 

 wherever seen, but unfortunately is 

 almost unknown. 



This beautiful dwarf tree should be 

 on every property large or small. It is 

 easily grown, attaining 8 feet only after 

 years of growth and is perfectly hardy as far north as Massachusetts. 



To get the best, buy American-grown plants. They have more vigor and vitality and 

 are thoroughly acclimated. 



Meehan-grown Japanese Maples are recognized among well-informed gardeners as the 

 choicest in America. 



They are well-grown in every respect. Good roots, well-formed tops, and so frequently 

 transplanted they move now with almost no disturbance or check to the growth. 



Decide to have some of these beautiful plants of ours for your lawn or garden this 

 spring. Order early — we can satisfactorily ship to all points. 



The prices at which we offer these plants are exceptionally reasonable, especially when
