JAPANESE MAPLES 
These grow slowly into dwarf, bushy, little trees with singular grace and beauty. The leaves are 
so delicately cut and beautifully colored that they are often grown for house decorations in jardinieres, 
but being hardy and thrifty their greatest value is for outdoor beds or masses. Being among the most 
striking and showy of all the small trees they are particularly adapted for fine grounds. They grow best 
in partly shaded situations and in well-drained and rich soil.
