=Trees with Beautiful Leaves= 
E VEN the best flowering trees are at very peak of beauty for a few weeks at most but foliage trees are colorful and striking 
from the time the leaves first unfold until the final Autumn blaze of color fills the landscape with beauty. Trees with 
colored foliage must, of course, be used with caution to avoid bizarre effects but properly chosen, they are a feature of 
the landscape which add enormously to the contrast and effectiveness of any planting. On this page we are following our usual 
practice of listing only the very best and choicest varieties. 
The Bloodleaf Japanese Maple 
Here is a small tree (color photograph below) which presents in Spring what is perhaps the 
brightest, fullest color in Nature. 
We offer only true grafted types. They will retain their color practically all Summer. Makes a 
superb lawn specimen, or may be used for mixed planting in the shrub border, where its brilliant 
coloring makes a striking effect. Zone V.

THE BEECH (Fagus) 
Its smooth grey bark and delicate foliage are 
reminiscent of the Holly and Magnolia. Planted

THE BIRCHES (Betula) 
To many people the Birch is typical of New 
England woods. In clumps here and there on 
shady lawns, or in groves with ferns underfoot, 
it has a dryad attraction hard to resist. Single 
specimens are also effective. 
European White Birch (B. alba) 
40 to 50 feet. Beautiful tree with sprav-like 
branches. The white bark is effective among 
evergreens. Zone III.
