ACER— Continued 



— rubrum. Scarlet or Red Maple. 40 feet. A 



fine native tree, thriving everywhere, but par- 

 ticularly in damp soil. Is much admired for 

 its red blossoms in Spring and deep crimson 

 foliage in Fall. 



— saceharum. Sugar Maple. 50 feet. A sym- 



metrical, handsome tree for all purposes. 

 Finely colored foliage in Autumn. Desirable 

 everywhere. 



— spicatum. Mountain Maple. 15 feet. A 



shrubby tree bearing erect racemes of greenish- 

 yellow flowers. Suited to borders or small 

 groups. 



— Tataricum Ginnala. Tartarian Maple. 12 



feet. A shrubby tree with divided leaves. 

 Good for grouping, or singly on small lawns or 

 in angles. 



ACER JAPONXCUM. Japanese Maples. 



The Japan Maples are trees of dwarf habit, 

 with very graceful and often deeply colored 

 foliage. They may be treated as shrubs in 

 masses, and for this reason we group them 

 separately. There are a great many variations 

 in these trees, but we select only the most 

 pronounced, hardiest and best. 



aureum. _ Golden-leaved Maple. 10 feet. A 



rare and distinct variety. Foliage of pronounced 

 golden color. 



— polymorphum. Japan Maple. 15 feet. The 



parent type of most Japan Maples and a shrubby 

 tree of very great merit. Of slow growth, 

 dense habit, and deeply lobed foliage. The 

 very best if natural green is wanted. 



atropurpureum. Purple-leaved Maple. 10 



feet. The most popular variety. Foliage of 

 intense purple, and in early Spring especially 

 beautiful. Is effective grown singly or in 

 groups. 



dissectum. Green Cut-leaved Maple. 5 



feet. The foliage of this and the next variety 

 is indeed most handsome, the habit dwarf and 

 pendulous. A lovely little tree. 



atropurpureum. Purple Cut-leaved Ma- 

 ple. 6 feet. A variety with deeply cut almost 

 fern-like foliage of dwarf and pendulous habit. 

 Foliage green and purple, and tree hardy. 



nigrum. 10 feet. Foliage and branches of 



the darkest shade, almost black; more perma- 

 nent than any other variety; habit erect. Rare 

 and choice. 



JESCULUS. Horse Chestnut. 



— hippocastanum. European Horse Chestnut. 



60 feet. Of rather slow growth, but ultimately 

 attaining large size, and in good soil becomes a 

 magnificent tree. Its large panicles of white 

 flowers in May are its glory. An enduring and 

 desirable tree. 



flore plena. Double Flowering Horse Chest- 



nut. 40 feet. Exactly like the type except 

 that the flowers are double and in the fact that 

 it bears no fruit. It is more desirable than the 

 type for these reasons.
