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 effective 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 efl'ect 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.
