NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT. 
Japan IHaples, 
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 palmatwn. 
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 BROAD-LEAVED. 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 WEEPING CUT-LEAVED. 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 WEEPING CUT-LEAVED. 
foliage is green rather than purple. 
Much like the preceding only the

GREEN BROAD-LEAVED. This is the type and by many considered the 
most desirable especially for planting where naturalistic effects are desired. The 
foliage as it expands in the spring is of the most delicate combinations of amber

0 ur most brilliant native maples.
