ACER JAPONICUM. 



Japanese Maples. (IV.) 



These beautiful small trees have been one of my specialties for many years. Though classed as 

 trees their dwarf habit makes them more eff^ective when grouped, or massed in borders, and treated 

 as hardy shrubs. For forming permanent beds of color and delicate foliage they are unsurpassed. 

 When grown in groups or borders, planted three to five feet apart, they give one of the most beautiful 

 results in foliage effect possible in the use of hardy stock. 



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

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

 beautiful, and wonderfully effective either in specimens or groups. 



To meet the demand for assortments of the best varieties of these hardy Japanese Maples, case 

 collections are furnished of fine plants; especially selected for group and border planting, and of the 

 choicest hardy kinds, both for immediate and permanent effects.
