JAPANESE MAPLES

favorites on account of their dense, compact, and 
withal, graceful growth, and their brilliant foliage, 
which retains its color during most of the summer. 
Acer palmatum (Japan Maple). C. This is a large- 
growing shrub, with small, deeply lobed leaves of a 
coppery green. It is the parent form of many of the 
beautiful “Japanese Maples” in cultivation. For 
planting as a single tree on the lawn it is most desir- 
able, its feathery green leaves making its appearance 
distinct from that of any other tree. 1 2 to 18 in., 50c.; 
18 to 24 in., 75 cts.; 2} to 3 ft., Si ; 3 to 4 ft.. Si. 50.

Norway Maple). B. An excellent and strik- 
ing variety, with dark purple leaves, which 
retain their color through the season. 6 to 
8 ft., $1. 
A., var. Schwedleri (Schwcdlcr’s Norway 
Maple). B. The early foliage of this variety 
is a bright crimson, fading to purplish 
green. Later fall growth takes on the 
brilliant tints of the spring, thus contrast- 
ing with the older foliage. It is very val-

and is always noticeable. 6 to 8 ft., Si each, 
$7.50 for 10; 8 to 10 ft., Si. 50 each. 
A., var. Geneva. B. This is a new crim- 
son-foliagcd Norway Maple which com-

colored Norway Maples, Reitenbachi and 
Schwedleri. It comes out rich crimson- 
purple in spring, and holds its remarkable 
color all summer, which the older sorts do 
not. A really grand novelty. 6 to 8ft., $1.50.

more Maple). B. Of vigorous habit. The

striking. 6 to 8 ft., 75 cts.; 8 to 10 ft., Si. 
A. rubrum (Red, or Scarlet Maple). B. A native 
tree doing well in damp positions, and conspicuous

8 to 10 ft., $1.25 each, Sio for 10.
