Fagus s. var. purpurea Riversii. RIVERS’ SMOUTH-LEAVED PURPLE BEECH. B. This variety, which we

The finest of all purple-leaved trees. $1.50. 
var. purpurea rosea marginata. ROSE-MARGINED PURPLE-LEAVED BEECH. A charming variety of 
the Purple-leaved Beech, with beautiful rose-margined leaves. A distinct and fine novelty; but as 
the foliage burns it should have a shaded position. Small trees. $3.00.

Beeches. $2.00. 
var. Zlatia. GOLDEN-LEAVED BEECH. A grand new variety and a valuable addition to the list of
