THE MAPLES

 planted or so popularly loved as the Maple in its varied, but 

 altogether charming and useful types.

Can furnish select large size specimen trees of most varieties 

 of Maples at from $3.00 to $7.50 each. 



Ash-Leaved. (Box Elder.) A fine, rapid-growing variety; 

 with handsome, light green foliage and spreading head, 

 very hardy; desirable for street planting and succeeds in 

 many sections where other varieties do not thrive. 



Colchicum Rubrum. Not a large tree, but of perfectly oval 

 shape with handsome 5 to. 7 lobed leaves which are deep 

 blood-red at time of unfolding. 1 



Cork Barked. Rather a small tree, with dark, dull green 

 leaves, fading to brown and yellow. Has corky ridges on 

 the branches. Very interesting when grown as a large shrub. 



Japan Maples. Dwarf trees of picturesque formation and 

 beautifully lobed, large leaves. We offer the Atropurpur- 

 eum, richly colored purplish red; and Dissectum with 

 finely cut bright colored foliage. 



Norway. Native of Europe; a large handsome tree, with 

 broad, deep green, shining foliage. Very desirable for 

 street, park or lawns. The Norway Maple characteristic- 



^ ally makes the roundest head ; is colored the deepest, coolest 

 green; and furnishes the densest shade of the entire list of 

 good trees. Its growth is slow compared to the Soft 

 Maples, Sycamores or Poplars; but its ultimate beauty, 

 hardiness and longevity is worth waiting on. 



Silver. A hardy, rapid-growing native tree of large size. 

 Valuable for producing a quick shade. Excellent for street 

 planting. "By mail, 25 cts.; 10 for $1.50. 



Scarlet or Red. A large tree with spreading branches. The 

 earliest Maple to bloom, its beautiful- red flowers appearing 

 in late winter. In the fall, its leaves turn to the most bri - 

 liant shades of red and scarlet. 



Schwedleri Maple 



Schwedleri. The Purple Norway Maple's beautiful leaves 

 attract attention at all seasons, but are especially fine in 

 spring, when their gleaming red and purple contrasts brightly 

 with the delicate green of other trees. In mid-summer they 

 are purplish green, in autumn golden yellow. 



Sugar or Rock Maple. This tree is chieftain of itsi clan; 

 straight, spreading, symmetrical, of grand proportions, often 

 120 feet in height, and longer lived than most men who plant 

 it. It grows well in all except damp, soggy soils, and roots 

 deeply, allowing the grass to grow close about its trunk. Its 

 bold leaves have very rich autumn tints of clear-yellow and 

 scarlet. 



Sycamore Maple. A broad, handsome tree of medium size, 

 rarely over 60 feet high, with larger, darker leaves than 

 other Maples. Casts a dense, cool shade. 



Purple -Leaved Sycamore Maple. A purplish tone is im- 

 parted to the tree by the purple under-surface of its leaves, 

 the effect being very fine when the leaves are in motion. 



Tartarian Ginnala. (Siberian Maple.) More like a large 

 shrub, with three-lobed leaves and flowers in long panicles. 

 Foliage turns bright red in autumn. Sometimes used as a 

 substitute for the Japanese Maples. 



Wier's Cut-Leaved. A silver Maple with remarkable and 

 beautifully dissected foliage. Of rapid growth- shoots 

 slender and drooping; giving it a very graceful appearance.
