NEW  IMPORTATION  OF  JAPANESE 
MAPLES 
Early  in  the  spring  (1906)  we  expect  a  con- 
signment of  these  Maples  from  Japan.  The  stock 
has  been  represented  to  us  as  strictly  first-class  and 
true  to  name.  We  shall  offer  it  upon  arrival  and  sell 
it  under  the  names  we  have  purchased  it  under,  but 
until  we  have  had  a  year  to  grow  this  stock  in  our 
nurseries  to  see  that  it  is  true  to  name,  we  shall 
not  hold  ourselves  in  any  way  responsible  for  the 
nomenclature.    The  varieties  are  as  follows  : 
Acer  polymorphum,  var.  atropurpureum.    (D)  A 
blood-leaved  sort  that  holds  its  dark  coloring 
throughout  the  season.  each  doz. 
2  to  3  feet  $1  25    $12  00 
3  to  4  feet   2  50     24  00 
var.  dissectum.  (V.  D)  This  is  a  low,  spreading 
form  with  very  deep  and  delicately  cut  green 
leaves.  Used  at  the  front  of  collections  or  as  an 
individual.  As  this  is  more  dwarf  than  the  other 
kinds,  our  plants  will  probably  not  be  as  large. 
EACH  DOZ. 
First  size  $2  50    $24  00 
Second  size    1  25     12  00 
var.  dissectum  purpureum.  (V.  D)  A  purple- 
leaved  form  of  the  above.              each  doz. 
First  size  $2  50  $24  00 
Second  size                                 1  25  12  00 
var.  nigrum.  (D)  The  young  twigs  are  almost 
black,  the  foliage  dark  purple  and  more  con- 
stant than  the  others  sorts.  e^ch  ^qz.

/Esculus  •  Horse-Chestnuts 
As  ornamental  flowering  trees  the  Horse-chest- 
nuts deserve  more  appreciation.  Suitable  for  shade 
and  avenues.  They  curiously  unfurl  their  leaflets 
in  early  spring  and  in  May  are  covered  with  great 
spangles  of  flowers  that  contrast  beautifully  with 
their  deep  green  foliage. 
.ffisculus  Hippocastanum.   (M)  Horse-Chestnut. 
The  common  white-flowering  variety. 
EACH  doz. 
8  to  10  feet  $1  50    $15  00

Ailanthus 
Ailanthus  glandulosa.  Chinese  Sumac,  Treei 
OF  Heaven.  (L)  A  lofty,  rapid-growing  shade 
tree,  with  feathery  tropical-looking  foliage. 
It  probably  withstands  the  smoke  and  gases 
of  cities  better  than  any  other  tree. 
8  to  10  feet  75  cts.  each,  $8  per  doz. 
Alnus  •  Alders 
Alnus  glutinosa.  European,  or  Common  Alder. 
(L)  This  is  a  rapid-growing  tree,  having  dull 
green  foliage  and  catkins  in  early  spring.  It  is 
particularly  well  suited  for  wet  places,  and  will 
do  well  where  many  other  trees  fail.  We  recom- 
mend the  Alders  for  sea-shore  planting,  believ- 
ing them  especially  adapted  for  that  use. 
EACH  DOZ. 
6  to  8  feet  $0  75    $8  00 
8  to  10  feet   1  00     9  00 
A.  incana.  Speckled  Alder.  (L)  Much  resembles 
the  former  in  habit  of  growth  and,  while  it  too 
does  well  in  moist  places,  it  is  also  happy  in  dry 
and  more  meager  soils.  g^^g  doz.

8  to  10  feet   1  00     9  00 
var.  laciniata.  OD  Cut-leaved  Alder.  Fine, 
feathery  foliage  makes  this  tree  more  ornamental 
than  the  parent  form. 
5  to  6  feet  75  cts.  each,  $8  per  doz. 
Amygdalus 
A  name  often  applied  erroneously  to  the  Flower- 
ing Peach  and  Almond.    See  page  34. 
Andromeda 
Andromeda  arborea ;  syn.,  Oxydendrum  arborea. 
Sorrel  Tree.  (D)  A  very  ornamental  little 
tree  with  handsome  foliage  that  turns  a  brilliant 
crimson  in  autumn.  Little  panicles  of  small 
white  flowers  are  borne  in  July. 
2i  to  3  feet  ....  $1.50  each,  $12.50  per  doz. 
Aralia 
Aralia  spinosa.  Hercules'  Club.  (S)  The  stout 
prickly  stems,  the  large  leaves,  and  the  enormous 
clusters  of  white  flowers  give  it  a  tropical  effect. 
Good  for  poor  soils.  ^^cg  poz.
