Fagus s. var. purpurea Riversii. Rivers' Smooth-leaved Purple Beech. B. This variety, which we 

 procured of Mr. Rivers, differs from the ordinary Purple-leaved Beech by its compact symmetrical 

 habit of growth, and crimson foliage early in the spring, changing to a dark purple in summer. 

 The finest of all p2crple-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
