GENERAL COLLECTION OF HARDY SHRUBS 
Including a few of the more useful trees for the ornamentation of the home grounds. 
Acer (Maple) 
The varieties of Maples are all highly ornamental, 
and most useful and beautiful in foliage; are vig¬ 
orous growers, free from all disease and adapted 
to all soils. 
The Norway and Sugar Maples are among the 
very best trees for street planting on account of 
their hardiness, long life and fine form; while the 
Japanese Maples are absolutely without rivals as 
small shrubs or trees for planting on the home 
rounds, their beautifully colored foliage, in many 
ifferent shades, producing a distinguished and 
striking effect that cannot be duplicated by any 
other class of plants. 
The Maples included in this list are only a few of 
the varieties best suited for the ornamentation of 
the home grounds. 
PLATANOIDES (Norway Maple). A large, 
handsome tree of spreading, round form, with broad, 
deep green, shining foliage. Its compact habit and

Platanoides, var. Schwedlerii (Schwedler’s

ornamental for lawn planting, whether in groups of 
contrasting colors or in single specimens. The 
yellow and blood-leaf varieties are upright in growth, 
while the dainty cut-leaf varieties, with their 
delicate, lace-like foliage, droop gracefully to the
