CHARMING and distinctive effects are possible with these choice little trees that have such a varia- 

 tion of foliage. The Autumn tints are striking. Being of small size, the plants may be used where 

 space is limited; especially adapted for planting in front of evergreen borders, in groups for color 

 ffects, or individually in prominent places; they are hardy in all but the coldest sections, transplant 

 asily and are attractive even when quite small. The fact that they will grow in partially shaded places 

 lakes them still more valuable.
