DECIDUOUS TREES. 



Figures in parenthesis indicate about the height of the trees at maturity. Varieties 

 starred (*) are in general demand and can be supplied in quantity. 



ACER (Maple) — One of the most, if not the most popular tree for street, avenue and other 

 places where shade is required. The Silver, Norway and Sugar are invaluable. 

 The Silver is the fastest grower of all, but for permanency the others are some- 

 times preferred. 



Campestris (European Cork Maple, 20 ft.) — A small sized tree with round or 

 spreading head, and handsome, neat foliage. Can be grown as a large shrub if 

 desired. Valuable for grouping or for planting on high dry ground where it 

 thrives particularly well. 



*Dasycarpum (Silver Maple, 60 ft. ) — Foliage bright green above and silvery 

 white beneath. One of the best of trees when very quick growth is required. 

 Trimmed moderately annually it becomes of fine shape. It is particularly useful 

 for planting streets and avenues, and especially so for building sites where it is 

 desirable to get a large growth as quick as possible. 

 * Do.— Wierii(Wier's Cut-Leaved Weeping Maple, 40 ft. ) — This remarkable beauti- 

 ful tree, has a partly drooping habit and finery divided leaves. A rapid grower and 

 should be in every collection. 



* Platanoides (Norway Maple, 50 ft.) — A distinct foreign variety, with large, broad 

 leaves with a deep rich green, rounded form, compact habit, stout, vigorous 

 growth. One of the finest of park, street shade or large lawn trees. Rather a 

 rough grower, while young but soon developes into straight, magnificent 

 specimens. 



Do. — Schwedlerii (30 ft.) — A beautiful variety with young shoots and leaves of a 

 bright, purplish and crimson color, which changes to a purplish green in the 

 older leaves. A valuable sort. 



Do. — Reitenbachi (30 ft.) — A new dark purple leaved variety, retaining its color 

 well through the season. 



Pseildo PlatantlS (Sycamore Maple 40 ft.) — A well known tree with large green 

 leaves and smooth bark. Makes a fine tree, especially where the atmosphere is 

 cool and moist, and near the sea. 



Do. — Purpurea (Purple-Leaved Sycamore Maple, 40 ft.) — The under side of the 

 leaves and petals are of a purple color. A very pretty tree for ornamental 

 planting. 



Rubrum (Red or scarlet maple, 50 ft.) — A fine native tree, attaining its largest size in 

 deep, moist soil. It is much admired in spring when displaying its red blossoms. 

 Unsurpassed in the beauty of its autumn foliage. 



*Saccharinutn (Sugar or Rock Maple, 60 ft.) — A popular American tree of elegant 

 pyramidal form. Its upright habit of growth, dense shade, and adaptability to 

 different soils has rendered it one of the most extensively used. In the autumn 

 the foliage becomes of a golden crimson. In rapidity of growth it is second only 

 to the Silver Maple. 



Spicatum (Mountain Maple, 20 ft.) — A very attractive native species, leaves rough 

 and broad, low habit, twigs deep red with conspicuous clusters of pendulous, 

 greenish yellow flowers, adapted to lawn culture only. 



Striatum (Pennsjdvanicum, Striped Bark Maple, Moose wood, 25 ft.)' — A charming- 

 low growing native tree. Its bark is striped with green and white, and in winter 

 it is a gem among other trees. Foliage broad and effective. 



Tartaricum Rubrum (Tartarian Maple, 12 ft.) — Shrubby growth, irregular round 

 form, roundish, serrated leaves with long stalks ; smooth, light colored bark, 

 hardy and easily transplanted ; for lawn grouping.
