BLOOD RED JAPANESE MAPLE 
Hounded, dwarf trees seldom maturing to over 10 feet, densely 
furnished to the ground with indented leaves of unrivaled bril¬ 
liancy and charm. Their early and midsummer aspect is vivid blood- 
red, which dulls to a bronzy, purple-red towards fall. These are 
splendid foreground subjects in mixed groups or for solitary color 
blotches in the open lawn. This dwarf tree was much admired in 
our Century’ of Progress garden.

dainty in terminal clusters, with a distinct and very pleasing sweet 
fragrance. 6 to 8 in., B. & B. 8-yr.-old for only 75c.
