Colored-Foliage Effects witk Deciduous 
Trees 
HERE are many forms of both trees and shrubs with colored foliage, 
the effect of which is not always the happiest or in the best taste. 
The following varieties represent the most dignified and lasting 
sorts, those whose rich colors are not offensive, but really lend a pleasing 
contrast as specimen trees or in groups. 
The Japanese Maples, which are sometimes classed as trees, are to be 
found under the heading, “Especially Noteworthy Species of Shrubs for 
Spring Effects;” their handsome crimson coloring being especially pleas¬ 
ing in the early spring, particularly against a background of evergreens.

trees that harmonize with most others
