Norway 
MapI 
e (Acer 
platanoides ) 
Where a Maple is required 
for screening purposes, or for 
street work under severe con¬ 
ditions, this variety will meet 
the requirements. As a street 
tree, it is particularly effec¬ 
tive where the planting condi¬ 
tions are crowded, and it 
trims readily to a clean trunk 
and a well-formed top. As a 
lawn tree, it is at its best 
when allowed to branch low so that the tips of the branches 
eventually sweep the ground. It is of good growth, with heavy 
wood and handsome, large, dark-green leaves. Quite hardy, 
free from injurious insects, growing in most soils and situations. 
Norway Maple as a lawn tree 
Sugar Maple 
(Acer saccharinum ) 
For a deciduous tree, beautiful at all seasons, no better 
variety can be used for street, park or lawn, nor should it be 
neglected for woodland planting. Well adapted for use near 
buildings, as it does not ob¬ 
struct light or air, and, being 
deep-rooted, the grass will 
grow up to its very trunk, 
which is quite a strong point 
in its favor. Growing well in 
almost all locations, it is dis¬ 
tinctly a suburban tree, and 
will not thrive where the side¬ 
walks are of concrete and the 
roadways closely paved. It is 
the noblest of all Maples; its 
growth is rapid and straight, 
and its form symmetrical. No 
tree has more gorgeous autumn 
coloring, varying, as it does, 
through all shades of yellow, 
a specimen Sugar Maple orange and scarlet.
