Acer. The Maples 



rHIS most popular group of shade trees is hardy, vigorous, easily transplanted, regular in outline and 

 beautiful in leaf. In Autumnal coloring we find the Maples ranking first among the large assortment 

 of shade trees. As a family, they vary greatly in their adaptability; the following descriptions of each 

 )rt tells briefly the purposes for which each is best suited. 



In addition to the standard varieties, we also ofiPer several new kinds that will make interesting speci- 

 lens of value on most any lawn. Generally speaking, these trees grow easily and require very little care 

 tid attention.

 urposes. Valuable for planting on high, dry ground,

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.
