I-----1 a maple tree with roundish and 
compact top, having an unusually prosperous and healthy 
appearance, with an abundance of broad and bright green 
leaves, you may suspect that you arelooking upon a Norway 
maple, which is quite distinct from the sugar maple which 
is more upright in growth. The bark of the Norway maple 
is smoother and the tree is inclined to have a straighter 
growth.of trunk. It is one of the hardiest ornamental shade 
trees, and one of the most beaut : ful. A noble variety both 
in growth and form. Very popular for shade and ornament 
and with its broad, showy leaves has many admirers. 
The Norway maple is the most vigorous grower of all the 
maples. There is no tree more extensively used for the 
ornamentation of public highways in cities and villages than 
the Norway maple. It is one of the hardiest of trees, suc¬ 
ceeding anywhere. It is easily transplanted. 
Do not think that you can save time by planting overlarge 
trees of the Norway maple or of other ornamental trees. My 
experience is that trees of moderate size are most desirable 
for planting upon the margin of streets or as ornaments of 
your home grounds. Trees of moderate size can be shipped 
and transplanted with little risk of loss. They should be 
planted a little deeper than you would plant an apple or pear 
tree. The branches should be cut back about half their 
length the same as we advise for fruit trees. 
Norway maple is entirely distinct from sugar maple, 
differing from it in many ways but particularly in forming 
a more dense and compact head. It is a faster grower than 
the sugar maple.
