 ticularly noticeable in winter.

var. Wierii laciiiia- 



tuiii. Wier's Cut-leaved Sil- 

 ver Maple. Introduced by us in' 

 1873. It is a variety of the silver- 

 leaved, and one of the most re- 

 markable and beautiful trees, with 

 cut or dissected foliage. Its growth 

 is rapid, shoots slender and droop- 

 ing, giving it a habit almost as 

 graceful as the Cut-leaved Birch. 

 Tlie foliage is abundant, silvery 

 underneath, and on the young 

 wood especially deeply and deli- 

 cately cut. The leaf stalks are 

 long and tinted with red on the 

 upper surface. It ranks among 

 the most interesting and attractive 

 lawn trees, and may be easily 

 adapted to i?mall places by an oc- 

 casional cutting back, which it 

 will bear to any degree necessary, as well as a willow. $1.00
