MAPLE, continued 
Silver-leaved, or White (A. Dasycarpum). 
The familiar tree of our village streets. This is a 
reliable grower in every section, maturing rapidly, 
but comparatively short-lived. 
Wier's Cut-leaved (A. Wierii laciniatum). 
A variety of the Silver Maple, with leaves cut 
more deeply. It has slender branches that droop 
gracefully, and grows very rapidly. 
Mountain Ash • Sorbus 
American (S. Americana). A tree of me- 
dium size, with clusters of orange -colored 
berries, from midsummer until frost. It is highly 
ornamental, especially through the fall and 
winter. 
European (S. aucuparia). A more desirable 
variety than the American, of finer growth and 
form. It blooms during the early spring, after 
which the bright scarlet berries are formed in 
clusters. 
Oak-leaved (S. quercifolia). A hardy tree of 
fine pyramidal shape. Foliage simple and deeply 
lobed, bright green above and downy beneath. 
A fine tree for the lawn. 
Peach • Persica 
Double Rose-flowering (P. rosea flore 
pleno). Flowers double; pale rose-colored, 
showy and beautiful in bloom. 
Double White-flowering (P. alba flore 
pleno). Very ornamental. Flowers pure white 
and double. Perfectly hardy. Should be planted 
with the rose-colored kinds for contrast. 
Plane Tree • Platanus 
Oriental Plane (P. orientalis). Leaves 
heart-shaped at base, deeply cut. Is among our 
tallest trees, growing rapidly into massive pro- 
portions. Hardy and free from disease. It does 
well in cities and near the seashore. 
Poplar • Populus 
BoUeana. Recently introduced and of much 
value. Habit similar to the Lombardy Poplar. 
Bluish gray bark; dark green leaves, which are 
white underneath. 
Carolina (P. monilifera). A sure and rapid 
grower, with heart-shaped leaves that are glossy 
and fresh-looking. Largely planted in cities and 
for shade about new grounds.
