TREES 



Ash-leaved Maple, or Box Elder. Acer 

 Negundo. (M). a rapid-growing tree of irregular 

 spreading form, whose leaves resemble those of the 

 Ash. Grows well in exposed positions, dry and 

 barren soils. Although this tree has been used more 

 generally perhaps in the Central West, where it 

 grows under adverse conditions, there are many 

 places here where it can be planted to advantage- 

 particularly in poor soil where an inexpensive tree 



is desired.

var. Reitenbachi. (M). This variety comes out 

 in the Spring with purple foliage which later changes 

 to green. Although somewhat similar, we believe 

 the following variety to be a superior sort.

Purple Norway Maple, var. Schwedleri. (M). 

 The new leaves are red or purplish, and later turn to 

 green. This coloring, although possibly somewhat 

 unnatural, gives the tree an individuality in the 

 Spring season that commends it as an ornamental 

 tree of value. Its nature of growth and many good 

 qualities are much the same as the Norway Maple.

Sycamore Maple. Acer Pseudo-Platanus. 

 (M). A handsome tree that grows quickly, forming 

 a spreading, open head and having large, dark green 

 leaves. Save for the darker color of the leaves its 

 habit and uses are similar to the Norway Maple.

Purple Sycamore Maple, var. Purpurea. 

 (M). The undersurface of the leaves is of a decided 

 purple color that blends well with the green upper- 

 surface and makes this variety a very interesting 

 one for lawn planting. It is remarkably attractive 

 when tossed about by the wind, as then the dual 

 coloring of the leaves glistens beautifully.
