universally popular.

 growth ; forms a low, round-headed, branching tree. Resembles the Japanese varieties. The autumn 

 coloring is fine. $[.oo.

 of rapid growth, large size, and irregular rounded form ; foliage bright green above and silvery white 

 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. 50c. 

 var. crispum. Crisp-leaved Silver Maple. B. A beautiful variety, raised in our nurseries 

 from seed. Its foliage is deeply cut and crimped, and in appearance is quite different from anything 

 in this class. The tree is of medium, rather compact growth. $1.00. 

 var. heterophyllum laciniatum. Cut-leaved Silver Maple. A. A distinct variety, raised in 

 our nurseries from 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. $1.00. 

 var. lutescens. Yellow-leaved Silver Maple. A. 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, ^i.oo. 

 var. tripartitum. Thkee-parted-leaved Silver Maple. B. 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 conspicuously marked with white 

 spots, which are particularly noticeable in winter, ^i.oo. 

 *var. W^ierii laciniatum. Wier's Cut-leaved Silver Maple. A. Introduced by us in 

 1873. ^^ ^^ ^ 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, as 

 well as a willow. 50c. 



A. Heldreichii. B. A fine new species of upright growth. Foliage large, dark green, and deeply lobed. We 

 regard it as a valuable introduction. $1.00.

 Schwedler's. ^i.oo.
