As  can  be  seen  here,  the  Sugar  Maple  is  hard  to  beat  as  an  avenue  tree  for  the  city  or  suburbs 
Deciduous  Ornamental  Trees  I 
OTHING  can  be  planted  which  will  grow  so  well  and  with  so  little  attention  and  care  as 
trees.  The  initial  cost  is  small  and  paid  for  many  times  over  by  the  beauty,  pleasure  and 
satisfaction  which  they  bring.  In  the  assortment  that  we  have  listed  will  be  found  the 
varieties  best  adapted  for  street  and  avenue  planting  ;  the  kinds  that  will  give  the  coolest 
shade  for  lawn  and  park  use ;  species  of  rapid  growth  to  produce  quick  effects  ;  those 
with  gorgeous  and  showy  flowers  and  brilliant  autumnal  leaves  ;  kinds  with  graceful,  weeping  habit ; 
large  and  dwarf-growing  sorts.  Our  collection  includes  trees  adapted  for  all  locations,  climates  and 
soils.  All  have  been  grown  with  care  to  make  them  straight,  stocky,  well  headed  and  supplied  with  fibrous 
roots.  They  have  been  frequently  transplanted  and  are  prepared  for  moving.  Where  trees  are  wanted 
in  large  quantities  we  may  be  able  to  offer  greater  inducements  on  some  varieties,  so  that  we  solicit 
correspondence  from  persons  who  contemplate  purchasing  in  such  numbers.  That  the  unacquainted  may 
have  an  idea  of  the  height  to  which  each  tree  may  be  expected  to  grow,  we  have  marked  the  varieties 
as  follows  : 
(L)  designates  trees  growing  to  60  feet  or  over  at  maturity.  (M)  from  30  to  60  feet.  (S)  20  to  30  feet 
(D)  10  to  20  feet,  (VD)  less  than  10  feet. 
Acer  •  The  Maples 
Maples  are  planted,  perhaps,  more  largely  than  any  other  tree.  They  are  hardy  and  well  adapted 
to  almost  every  soil ;  are  attractive,  vigorous  growers,  and  remarkably  free  from  the  attacks  of  injuri- 
ous insects.  Their  shade  is  cool  and  dense,  and  for  this  they  are  indispensable  in  all  lawn,  park  or  avenue 
plantings.  In  autumn  the  brilliant  coloring  of  their  leaves  is  everywhere  commented  upon.  The  Silver 
Maple  {Acer  dasycarpum)  and  the  Ash-leaved  Maple  (Acer  Negundo)  are  the  most  rapid-growing,  but  for 
permanency  the  Sugar  Maple  {Acer  saccharinum)  and  the  Norway  Maple  {Acer  platanoides)  are  usually 
preferred.  The  other  varieties  are  more  or  less  distinct  and  each  useful  in  its  place.
