Norway Maple 
We consider this the finest of the Hard Maples, being a more 
rapid grower and smoother barked than the ordinary Sugar 
Maple. The spreading, rounded top is unusually symmetrical; 
foliage is large, dark green and very dense, staying green three 
weeks longer in the fall than other Maples, then turns to brilliant 
scarlet and yellow. It withstands well the smoke and difficult condi' 
tions of the city. For street or lawn planting, the beautiful and 
hardy Norway Maple cannot be excelled. Our trees are extra fine.

Schwedler’s Maple, The Red-Leaved Maple 
Brilliant, purplish red leaves in the spring make a rich contrast 
with the vivid greens of surrounding nature; gradually the highly 
colored leaves soften to bronze, then a little later to deep waxy 
green, and late in the fall are deep yellow. A handsome lawn tree, 
developing the rounded, dense head of the Norway Maple. 
Every home planting needs one or more of our beautiful Schwed' 
ler’s Maple trees. 50 to 60 feet at maturity.

Pin Oak 
The noblest tree of our country, deserving of far 
more planting. The foliage is handsomely carved, 
of a deep, waxy green, turning in the fall to a gor 
geous scarlet. The tree grows tall and majestic, 
each year adding to its beauty and symmetry; it is 
extremely long lived and hardy. The Pin Oak is the 
finest of all Oaks for general planting, more easily 
established, grows more rapidly. We have beautiful 
specimens to offer our customers this year. 75 tolOO 
feet at maturity.
