clear wagon tops, the lower branches being at 10 
or 12 feet. The leader, or trunk, is continued 
up through the top, so that they may be pruned

the problem is to furnish foliage immediately for 
shade, ornament or screens, these large-sized 
Norway Maples, 15 to 22 feet high and 6 to 
12 feet spread of branches and roots, will give 
best satisfaction. In the ordinary sizes of 8 to 
16 feet, an 1 \]/ z to 2 l /z inches in diameter, our 
stock is ill large quantity and 
at low prices, and worthy the 
attention of extensive planters for 
groves, drives, roadsides and 
streets. For the development of 
real estate for sale as building- 
lots the Norway Maple is the best 
tree. A few well - established 
trees planted on the lots enhance 
the attractiveness and value of 
the property.

With all the vigor of the Norway 
Maple, the purple variety has the 
foliage effect of the Purple Beech, 
the leaves being bright red dur- 
ing spring, and in early summer 
changing to dark green. 
Reitenbach's Purple Norway. A. 
platanoides, v a r . Reitenbachi. 
Unlike the last, it is dark blood- 
red in late summer.

num. The form of the Sugar 
Maple is upright and ovate and 
not as broad as the other Maples.
