Rivers’ Blood-leaved Beech Fagus sylvatica , var. Riversii 
This form of the purple Beech is from grafted stock and, while it holds the full 
beauty and form of the English Beech, its foliage is much darker and richer than the 
Copper or Purple Beech. The fact of its being a grafted tree insures absolute uni¬ 
formity in color. The gray bark and twigs of this, as of all the other Beeches, are 
very pleasing in winter. Rivers’ Beech needs to be used very carefully where a 
strong high-colored specimen is desired. As an excellent tree in a planting or as a 
single specimen upon the lawn it is equally valuable. Each 10 
5 to 6 ft.$3 50 $32 50

6 to 7 ft.$3 50 $33 50 
Purple-leaved Wych Elm Ulmus scabra, var. purpurea 
A medium-sized tree with a pleasing purplish cast to the foliage; a splendid 
specimen and of merit when a medium-sized tree is required. The growth is close; 
the foliage small and of good color. Often a tree is required for planting along 
paths or narrow roads. This is a desirable variety for such a purpose or, in general 
landscape planting where a tree of very symmetrical outline and of medium growth 
is required, it can be used with the greatest advantage. Each 10 
10 to 12 ft.; 2 to 2M in.$2 00 $18 50
