 lobed foliage, the leaves being cut 

 nearly to the midrib and are three 

 parted. The young growth is con-

var. Wierii lacinia- 

 tum. Wier's Cut-leaved Silver 

 Maple. Introduced by us in 1873. 

 It is a variety of the silver-leaved, and 

 one of the most remarkable and beau- 

 tiful trees, with cut or dissected foliage. 

 Its growth is rapid, shoots slender and 

 drooping, giving it a habit almost as 

 graceful as the Cut-leaved Birch. The 

 foliage is abundant, silvery under- 

 neath, and on the young wood espe- 

 cially deeply and delicately 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 small places by an occasional cutting back, which it will bear to any 

 degree necessary, as well as a willow. SI. 00.

 A beautiful variety, with the young shoots and leaves of a 

 bright purplish and crimson color, which changes to pur- 

 plish green in the older leaves. It is a great improvement

more vigorous. 81.00.
