Starting a fine home planting with shade trees and hedge, and how they will look in a few years 



NORWAY MAPLE. Typical Maple leaves, 

 large and bright green, fading to gold in the fall. 

 Trunk and branches are sturdy and strong, lending 

 an effect of ruggedness. Growth is fast. Branches 

 and foliage are thick and compact, and the head, 

 which is round-topped, begins to branch not far above 

 the ground. The tree is large — towering 50 feet 

 high when fully grown. Splendid trees, most beau- 

 tiful and desirable. For lining the sides of lanes and 

 roads, for a lawn, to protect the house from sun 

 and weather, for shade, for beauty and satisfaction, 

 and for real permanent worth in all landscape plant- 

 ing there are no other trees in its class. Norway 

 Maples are at home in the mountains, but will 

 thrive at any elevation, and in nearly any soil to 

 be found in this country.

 Silver Maple. The name comes from the color 

 of leaves. Underneath these are the same shade as 

 new, bright silver; on top they are light green. Many 

 of them are carried on their edges, and when wind 

 blows the trees are alive with silver and green flashes. 

 In the fall the leaves fade to pale yellow. Growth 

 is faster than that of any other Maple, and probably 

 faster than that of any other shade tree. Branches 

 are slim and dainty rather than heavy, and the form 

 of growth is spreading. Gets very large eventually 

 — as high as 120 feet sometimes — and does well over 

 nearly all the United States. Makes splendid quick 

 screens or quick shade. On streets and in parks 

 is extensively planted, and is very fine.

 they are yellow and orange. 4 to 5 ft., 75 cts. each,

Schwedleri Maple. This Maple has three dis- 

 tinct changes of dress in a season. The spring color 

 scheme is purple and crimson; that of summer 

 months dark green, and when fall comes the trees 

 don tones of brown and yellowish red. It is certainly 

 a fashion-following member of the Maple family, and,' 

 while in no way ignoring its relationship, it insists 

 on all the latest styles in cut of leaves and growth 

 of branches besides the most harmonizing colors.
