Zbru Beautiful JMaplea 
a S a shade and ornamental tree the Maple is to-day one of the most popular, 
/V the Sugar, Norway, Silver, Sycamore, Ash-leaved and Japan Maples all 
/* being very desirable in their many ways. We wish to call special attention 
to the following, which are very marked varieties of striking ornamental char- 
acter while preserving all the desirable features characteristic of the types : 
turner's Cut-leaved Silver JVIapk B)g£sSrS55fi M «*u 
This new tree originated here at the nursery some years ago, appearing 
among a block of several thousand seedlings. It first attracted our attention by 
its very interesting deeply laciniated or fern-like foliage, which was in marked 
contrast to its neighbors. It was later removed to* a favorable spot where it had 
a chance to develop and where we could watch it. Since then it has developed 
rapidly (for the Silver Maple is one of our fastest growing shade trees). The 
tree has a fine symmetrical habit, its outer branches are somewhat spreading 
while the young bark, stem and mid-rib of the leaf are of a most brilliant crimson. 
We consider it a most distinct variety and as a specimen tree it surely is an 
acquisition. 
We have worked up a nice stock of the Maple and offer the following sizes.

Scbwedkr's Htnber-kaved Norway J^U-feffi£S2S8!) 
This splendid variety originated in Europe some years ago and will be very 
popular in this country as soon as better known. 
The ordinary form of the Norway Maple, of which this is a variety, is to-day 
a strong competitor for popular favor with the native hard or sugar Maple, it has 
so many merits to recommend it. This deep amber-leaved form (Schwedler's) 
has all the merits of the type together with this special feature of its beautiful 
foliage which, when it first develops in the Spring, is the most intense amber red 
imaginable, slowly changing as the season advances to a deep rich green much 
the same as the copper beech. 
We cannot too strongly recommend this beautiful tree where a mass of bril- 
liant color is wanted through the Spring and early Summer and at the same time 
desire it in the form of a Maple tree. It will thrive almost anywhere and is very 
suitable for planting near the seashore.

purple-leaved "Japan JMaples, 
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 peculiar 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 one we offer below is the most distinct and satisfactory. Our stock 
is thoroughly acclimated, and we can also offer a number of other varieties. 
This one offered here is known as the blood-leaved variety owing to the in- 
tense coloring when the foliage first unfolds. As the leaves mature they become 
a deep wine red varying according to the vigor and location of the plant. This 
form usually remains bushy, but sometimes becomes quite tree-like, getting to be 
20 feet high.
