Japanese Maples. 



These little Japanese Maples 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. They also blossom quite prettily in the spring, 

 and in autumn many varieties deepen in color and assume very beautiful autumn tints. Although hardy as far north 

 as Boston, they are not entirely reliable in the Northwestern States ; they seem to attain their greatest perfection in the 

 Middle State3. 



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 yellow. 



Polymorphum Atropurpureum. This is a dark purple-leaved variety, foliage deeply cut ; very ornamental. 



Polymorphum Dissectum Atropurpureum. One of the most striking and handsome varieties ; the leaves are of 



a beautiful rose color when young and change to a deep and constant purple as they become older. They are also 

 deeply and delicately cut, giving them an elegant fern-like appearance. 



50 cts. each ; the set of 3 for $1.25.
