Two Most Desirable 
Hardy Trees 
That Make a Glorious 
Autumn Display. 
We wish to call special attention to these 
two beautiful Maples, which are very 
marked varieties of striking ornamental 
character. They are well adapted to al- 
most any soil, vigorous growers and re- 
markably free from the attacks of injurious 
insects. (For other Maples see pa^e 76.)

bioerian manie. 
SIBERIAN MAPLE. (Acer Tartaricum Qinnala.) 
This variety of Maple, while yet a novelty, has been known to uurserynien 
and landscape gardeners for some years, ana has grown in favor to such an 
extent that the supply is not equal to the demand. 
Planters of the northwest especially shonltl be interested in this beautiful 
dwarf tree, as there is no other that is as valuable or could take its place. It 
fills so many important positions in making up a .selection of trees for landscape 
or beautifying lawns. 
This beautiful tree is of minature nature, resembling the Japan Maples so 
extensively used in eastern and southern states where they are hardy, but 
the.se do not compare with Sil>erian, for if lias more vitality and is-more rol>u.v( 
in its habit. It.s beautiful dark green, glos.sy foliage, with, leaf gracefully cui. 
makes it a tree to be much admired. One of its most valuable qualities is its 
beautiful marketl or colore<i foUase in the autunm. It begin.s taking on its 
autumn appearance early and the foliage hangs long into fall, and its beauties 
are much admired, and esiMjcially so, as it retains this foliage so late. 
One of its most valuable qualities is its extreme hardiness and clean habit, 
never dropping any leaves until late in fall. Tlie flowers, which are in large 
clusters, appear in June and are quite attractive, as well as the crimson seetl 
pods which it produces. This tree can be termed a shrub, and by pruning 
can be trained to any shape. It is beautiful when used in clumps a.'* back- 
ground for other shrubs. 
We have admired this tree for years and have increased our stock each season, 
so we could supply the increased demand, for there are so many places it can 
be used ami planted, making it a favorite. If you have but a small lawn, it is 
just as effective as if it was i>lanted to broad acres for park piwposes. The 
illustration lierewith shown does not do the tree justice, a^i it cannot leave 
the impression of the real tree in the spring with its soft purple foliage, and in 
the fall with it,s beautifiil golden leaves, or ita stately dwarf habit. 
We recommend Siberian Maple and especially so to all planters in cold cli- 
mates. There is nothing so hardy or that will give such entire satisfaction. 
GLOBE MAPLE. (Acer Qlobosum.) 
/Vljew hardy Maple from Europe, and after a thorough te.st find it a valuable 
acquisition to the northwest, being of the hartiiest typ6 and after the nature of 
Nforway Maple, which is one of the hardiest trees ever introduced. One knowing 
he beauty and hardiness of the Norway variety needs no farther advice, as it 
as been termed for years the most beautiful of all ornamental trees. The 
Jlobe Maple is of the same family, is equal in har<liness. a much better and 
more rapid grower, forming a straight trunk or body with the same tougl), 
.sturdy nature of its wood, making it very valuable as a tree to witlistand winds, 
etc., never being injured in storms or uprooted. 
This tree is i>roi>erly named Oiobe Maple, its branches form a globe shape, 
being very dense, dark green foliage, large leaves that do not drop until late 
fall, after presenting a beautiful autumn appearance, turning to many shades 
after frost, before falling to the ground. Anyone with a large lawn knows how 
disajfreeable it is to have trees that shed or drop their foliage early in the season, 
making a dirty lawn or giving the appearance of being unkept. 
We can recommend this valuable tree as perfectly harrly and to comjiare 
equally with that of our native Oak, and as to beauty there has never been 
anything introduced that equals it. Anyone beautifying property, should 
inclvKle m their collection at least some of this rare variety. It is true, you 
will not -find it listed in all catalogues; it is not known nor \% its value com- 
prehended only by those who keep posted and are alert for the best and hard- 
iest sXoek as it comes from thei. introducer, either ii\ ^Vmerifia or Kurope. We 
are always looking for something extremely hardy to add to the collection used 
in the northwest as well as other sections
