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

LEAVES OF THE CRISP-LEAVED MAPLE. 



(Natural Size.) 



var. crispuni. Crisped-leaved Silver Maple. 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. lieteropliylluiii laciniatvim. 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 di-sected 

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

 others deeply cleft and laciniated. It differs from Wiei-'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. lutescens. 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.
