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.

Reitenbach's Norway Maple. Acer Plata- 

 NOiDEs; VAR. Reitexbachi. (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.

Sugar, or Rock Maple 



Acer Saccharum. (L). Much used for shac 

 on lawns and public parks. Also suited for strei 

 planting in suburban localities. Being natural: 

 somewhat higher headed than the Norway Map 

 many people prefer it to that variety. It is th 

 maple whose leaves in the Fall turn to such bri 

 liant shades of orange and crimson. Is found grov 

 ing naturally throughout the Eastern United Stat( 

 where in some sections the sap of the trees is use 

 for maple sugar. It was in the heart of the " Berl 

 shires" that the early settlers learned the art ( 

 Maple sugar making from the Indians.

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.
