Deciduous Ornamental and Shade Trees 
In this section I have included trees that are specially suited for landscape, lawn, and garden planting. 
Many are noted for the brilliancy of their foliage, others for their value in furnishing shade, and still others 
for both foliage and flowers. In selecting the varieties here presented, I have preferred to include only those 
of value and service to my customers, rather than give a long list of miscellaneous sorts. 
Acer (Maple) 
The Maples are all highly ornamental, most use¬ 
ful and beautiful in foliage, and are vigorous grow¬ 
ers, 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 Jap¬ 
anese Maples are absolutely without rivals as small 
shrubs or trees for planting on the home grounds. 
With their beautifully colored foliage, in many dif¬ 
ferent shades, they produce a distinguished effect 
that cannot be duplicated by any other class of 
plants. 
COLCHICUM rubrum (A. cappadocicum). An 
attractive species from Japan, growing to medium 
size and .with rounded form; young growth and 
foliage bright crimson, later dark green, turning to 
bronze. 4 to 5 ft., $1.50 each, $12.50 for 10. 
GINNALA (A. tataricum ginnala). Siberian 
Maple. Small foliage, prettily cut and Iobed, turn¬ 
ing bright red in.autumn; a small-growing variety, 
and a good substitute for the Japanese Maple in ex¬

Acer palmatum (Japanese Maples) 
These beautiful dwarf Maples are among the aris¬ 
tocrats of the garden, and there is nothing more 
ornamental for lawn planting, whether in groups of 
contrasting colors, or in single specimens. The yel¬ 
low and blood-leaf varieties arc upright in growth, 
while the dainty cut-leaf varieties, with their deli¬
