MAPLE, continued 
Acer saccharinum (Dasycarpum) Wierii laciniatum. Wikk's 
Cut-Leaved Silver Maple This variety is distinct in form and habit, 
the central stem 
or leader growing 
rapidly while slen- 
der lateral branches 
curve gracefully 
downward, giving it 
a drooping habit, 
which, with its deli- 
cately -cut leaves, 
gives it an individu- 
ality of its own. It 
is the most graceful 
of the Maples. Its 
form is upright and 
slender, growth very 
rapid. Will quickly 
shade the upper- 
story windows and 
will withstand any 
necessary “heading- 
in” to make it con- 
form to its place. It 
is a lawn, rather than 
a street tree. 
A. Negundo. Ash- 
leavkd Maple. 
This is the box elder of the West and forms a large, spreading head. 
It is a rapid grower, transplants easily and is more likely to succeed 
on dry gravelly or sandy ground than the other Maples. Its chief 
value is its adaptability to these adverse conditions. It is, withal, 
a tree of moderate cost.

The Elms. Ulmus 
Ulmus Americana. The American Elm. The majesty and grandeur 
of a fine matured specimen of this, our choicest native tree, is 
beyond description. Its lofty height, wide-arching top and pendulous 
branches, gives it a picturesque effect. It is probably the longest- 
lived tree grown by nurserymen, and its beauty increases with age.
