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 
ground.  Each       Doz.  100

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 
appears.  It  grows  slowly  to  a  medium-sized, 
round-topped  tree,  found  most  valuable  for 
contrasts.  From  Japan.  Each  Dcz.

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 
maturing  trees,  is  short-lived  and  declines  after 
a  period  of  40  to  50  years.  The  leaves  are 
deeply  cut  and  their  silvery  under  surface  is 
beautifully  displayed.  The  tree  is  not  so  desira- 
ble in  most  places  as  the  Sugar  or  Norway  Ma- 
ple, but  as  a  quick-growing  low-priced  tree  the 
Silver  Maple  is  scarcely  surpassed.

var.  Wieri  laciniatum.  Wier's  Cut-leaved 
Silver  Maple.  (M)  The  leaves  are  cut  more 
deeply  than  those  of  its  parent,  the  Silver  Ma- 
ple. It  grows  very  rapidly  and  is  distinguisha- 
ble 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,
