Japanese Maples 
Beautiful little trees valued in all landscape work. Especially adapted for planting in front 
of evergreen borders, in groups for color effect, or individually in prominent places. They are 
reliably hardy in all but the coldest sections of the United States, transplant easily and mature 
quickly. 
ACER palmatum aureum (Golden Japan 
Maple). In sunny situations the leaves 
retain their clear yellow color with little 
variation throughout the summer. One of 
the best and most effective in a group.

type; forms a small shrubby tree with var¬ 
ious shades of color on the young growth; 
foliage small, deeply lobed, changing to the 
most brilliant tints in autumn. 50 cts. to $1. 
A. p. dissectum atropurpureum (Cut-leaved 
Purple Japan Maple). A singularly beau¬ 
tiful shrub with slender and gracefully 
drooping branches, forming a symmetrical

color and very attractive. Admirably 
adapted for small yards and nooks.' $2.50.
