JAPANESE 



NANANI3EIJ EVERGREEN 



TREES. 



(Thuya Obtusa Nana/, 



We have an interesting lot of these curiously-trained dwarfed 

 Japanese Evergreen Trees, many of them nearly a century old. 

 They are quite popular at present, and frequently exorbitant prices 

 are paid for them at Japanese sales. 



Our stock is all established in pots, which ensures their success. 

 The illustration gives a very good idea of their odd and grotesque 

 appearance, although no two look exactly alike. 



Price §5.00, $7.50 and $10.00 each, according to shape of 

 plant. 



Specimen Japanese Nananized Evergreen Tree. 



JAPANESE MAPLES. 



These are exceedingly beautiful plants, especially in Spring and early Summer, 

 when they burst into full leaf, and the various colors of the foliage are deep and 

 decided. ' As the Summer advances the deep colors fade out very much, but the 

 lace-like foliage retains its beautiful outlines, and in Autumn many varieties deepen 

 in color and assume very beautiful Autumn tints. 



We offer 3 of the most distinct and beautiful varieties suited to our climate. 

 Acer Japonicum Aureum. A charming variety, with scalloped leaves, 



which are of a bright golden-vellow. 



— Polymorphum Atropurpureum. This is a dark purple-leaved variety, 

 foliage deeply cut ; verv ornamental. 



— Polymorphum Dissectum Atropurpureum. A striking and handsome 

 variety ; leaves a beautiful rose color when young ; change to a deep and 

 constant purple as they become older. Also deeply and delicately cut, giving 

 them a fern-like appearance. 50 cts. each; the set of 3 for $1.25.
