NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT. 
WE are indebted to the Japanese for many of our most interesting garden 
plants. They have seemingly been a people keenly alive to the beauties 
of plants for centuries and have been developing by their loving care, 
forms of plants which are to-day marvelous for their beauty. 
That many of these beautiful forms are perfectly hardy and adapted for out- 
door planting in this climate we should consider fortunate. This is the case with 
these wonderfully beautiful little maples which the botanist tells us are garden 
varieties of a very interesting native bush- like tree, acer palmatum. 
We have tested on our grounds a great variety of forms grown in Japan and 
we believe the ones we offer are the most distinct and satisfactory. Our stock is 
thoroughly acclimated. Varieties. 
PURPLE BROKD-LEKiZED. This is known as the blood-leaved variety 
owing to the intense coloring when the foliage first unfolds. As the leaves mature 
they become a deep wine red varying according to the vigor of the plant. 
PURPLE MEEPING CUT-LEKMED. The color of the foliage is similar 
to the preceding but the foliage is so deeply divided that it rivals the most delicate 
fern in its gracefulness. (See illustration.) 
GREEN MEEPING CUT-LEHiZED. Much like the preceding only the 
foliage is green rather than purple.

GREEN BROHD-'LEHMED. This is the type and by many considered the 
most desirable especially for planting where naturalistic effects are desired. The 
foHage as it expands in the spring is of the most delicate combinations of amber 
tints which slowly develop into a rich green. The autumn coloring again rivals 
our most brilliant native maples.
