ACER JAPONICUM. Japanese Maples. 



ACER Japonicum. Japanese Maple. Perhaps no class of hard- wooded small trees or shrubs 

 are now attracting more attention for planting in fine ornamental grounds than the hardy Japanese 

 Maples. 



Being of dwarf habit they are grown really as shrubs, and when planted as single specimens or 

 in groups, the delicate and beautiful colored foliage produces an effect that is unsurpassed by the use 

 of any other shrubs or hardy plants. 



The principal varieties as described below have proven hardy and are easily grown. The crim- 

 son red foliage of the Atropurpureum, Sanguineum and Ornatum varieties is particularly striking and 

 beautiful, and wonderfully effective either in specimens or groups. 



The most effective arrangement is planting in groups or borders 3 to 5 feet apart. In this way 

 and by slight pruning the groupings become a solid mass of foliage which can be kept in fine, compact 

 form from 1 to 6 feet in height. 



As these beautiful Japanese Maples are becoming better known there is a large demand for the 

 finer varieties as given below, and I furnish, as heretofore, case collections of the best varieties, as 

 follows :
