^  Acer  campestre.  European  Cork  Maple.  (S) 
Attractive  and  hardy,  growing  slowly  into  a 
small,  handsome  tree,  with  thick,  rounded  head 
of  small,  elegant  leaves.  The  bark  is  corky. 
Valuable  for  planting  on  high,  dry  grounds. 
5  to  6  feet   ....  75  cts.  each,  $8  per  doz. 
A  Colchicum,  var.  rubrum.  Red  Maple.  (S)  The 
young  growth  of  this  rare  tree  is  bright  red  in 
May  and  in  August,  when  a  second  growth  ap- 
pears. It  grows  slowly  to  a  medium-sized,  round- 
topped  tree,  found  most  valuable  for  contrasts. 
From  Japan.  each  doz.

A.  dasycarpum.  Silver  Maple.  (L)  This  Maple 
may  be  seen  along  the  streets  of  almost  every 
town  or  village.  It  is  a  most  reliable  grower  in 
all  sections,  and  matures  so  rapidly  that  it  is 
sought  for  quick  effects,  but,  like  all  rapidly  ma- 
turing trees,  is  short-lived  and  declines  after  a 
period  of  from  40  to  50  years.  The  leaves  are 
deeply  cut  and  their  silvery  under  surface  is  beau- 
tifully displayed.  The  tree  is  not  so  desirable  in 
most  places  as  the  Sugar  or  Norway  Maple,  but 
as  a  quick-growing  low-priced  tree  the  Silver 
Maple  is  scarcely  surpassed.  each  doz.

var.  Wieri  laciniatum.  Wier's  Cut -leaved 
Silver  Maple.  (M)  The  leaves  are  cut  more 
deeply  than  those  of  its  parent,  the  Silver  Maple. 
It  grows  very  rapidly  and  is  distinguishable  by 
its  slender  branches  that  droop  gracefully.  This 
is  a  desirable  and  attractive  tree  for  quick  effects 
on  a  new  lawn,  and  is  sometimes  also  used  for 
avenue  planting.  each  doz.
