ACER JAPONICUM. Japanese Maple 
(IV). 
These beautiful small trees have been one of 
my specialties for many years. Though classed 
as trees, their dwarf habit makes them more ef¬ 
fective when grouped, or massed in borders, and 
treated as hardy shrubs. For forming perma¬ 
nent beds of color and delicate foliage, they are 
unsurpassed. When grown in groups or bor¬ 
ders, planted three to five feet apart, they give 
one of the most beautiful results in foliage ef¬ 
fect possible in the use of hardy stock. 
The principal varieties as described below 
have proven hardy and are easily grown. The 
crimson red foliage of the Atropurpureum, 
Sanguineum and Ornatum varieties is particu¬ 
larly striking and beautiful, and wonderfully 
effective either in specimens or groups.
