Norway Maple — the most popular shade tree 



SILVER MAPLE (Acer dasycarpum). The name 

 comes from the color of leaves. Underneath, 

 these are the same shade as new, bright silver; 

 on top they are light green. Many of them are 

 carried on their edges, and when wind blows the 

 trees are alive with silver and green flashes. In 

 the fall the leaves fade to pale yellow. Growth 

 is faster than that of any other Maple, and 

 probably faster than that of any other shade tree. 

 Branches are slim and dainty rather than heavy, 

 and the form of growth is spreading. Gets very 

 large eventually — as high as 120 feet sometimes — 

 and does well over nearly all the United States. 

 Makes splendid quick screens or quick shade. On 

 streets and in parks is extensively planted, and 

 is very fine.

MAPLES 



NORWAY MAPLES (Acer platanoides). Typical 

 Maple leaves, large and bright green, fading to 

 gold in the fall. Trunk and branches are sturdy 

 and strong, lending an effect of ruggedness 

 Growth is fast. Branches and foliage are thick 

 and compact, and the head, which is round- 

 topped, begins to branch not far above the 

 ground. The tree is large— towering 50 feet high 

 when fully grown. Splendid trees, most beautiful 



' and desirable. For lining the sides of lanes and 

 roads, for a lawn, to protect the house from sun 

 and weather, for shade, for beauty and satisfac- 

 tion, and for real permanent worth in all land- 

 scape planting there are no other trees in its 

 class. Norway Maples are at home in the moun- 

 tains, but will thrive at any elevation, and in 

 nearly any soil to be found in this country.

 reddish color. 6 to 8 ft., $2.50 each.

 atropurpureum). A very picturesque maple for

 men or to add color to your planting. Very 

 conspicuous, medium size bush or tree with blood 

 red foliage. A wonderful addition to any lawn.

 dition. It develops into a splendid shade tree, 

 its vigorous growth making it very desirable 

 where quick shade is desired. Order early as
