ORNAMENTAL TREES, SHRUBS, ETC. 



•'■Acer clasycarpuin or eriocarpiini. White or Silver-leaved 

 Maple. A North American species, of rapid growth, large size, and irregular rounded 

 form ; foliage bright green above and silvery while beneath ; tree very hardy and 

 easily transplanted ; where immediate shade is required, one of the most useful trees ; 

 also a favorite street and park tree. 



var. crispum- Crisp-leaved Silver Maple. A beautiful variety, 

 raised in our nurseries from seed. Its foliage is deeply cut and crimped, and in ap- 

 pearance is quite different from anything in this class. The tree is of medium, rather 

 compact growth. 75 cents. 



var. heterophylluni laciniatum. Cut-Leaved Silver Maple. 

 A distinct variety, raised in our nurseries from the seed of the Silver-leaved. It is a 

 luxuriant, erect grower of fine appearance, and has handsomely cut or dissected 

 leaves, which are extremely variable in form, some being only slightly lobed and 

 others deeply cleft and laciniated. It differs from Wier's in being of upright habit 

 and in having the foliage more deeply cut. An occasional cutting back will be of 

 advantage to the tree. |1. 



var, llltescens. A variety of the Silver-leaved of vigorous growth, 

 with bright yellow leaves. Its rich bronze shoots in spring, and tender yellow-green 

 foliage in summer, will render it a valuable tree for the landscape. |1.

(reduced.) 



Acer. d. var. tripartitum. A choice variety, which originated in our 

 nurseries. It is a vigorous, upright grower, with deeply lobed foliage, the leaves 

 being cut nearly to the midrib and are three parted. The young growth is con- 

 spicuously marked with white spots, which are particularly noticeable in winter. 

 75 cents. 



"*var. Wierii laciniatum. 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 beautiful 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 underneath, and on the young wood 

 especially 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, ps well as a willow. 75 cents.
