Acer d. var. triparti- 
tuill. Another choice variety, which 
originated in our nurseries. It is a 
vigorous, upright grower, with deeply 
lobed foliage, the leaves being cut 
nearly to the midrib and are three 
parted. The young growth is con¬ 
spicuously marked with white spots, 
which are particularly noticeable in 
winter. $1.00. 
*var. Wierii lacinia- 
t uill. Wier’s Cut-leaved Sil¬ 
ver Maple. Introduced by us in 
1873. It is a variety of the silver¬ 
leaved, and one of the most remark¬ 
able and beautiful trees, with cut or 
dissected foliage. Its growth is rapid, 
shoots slender and drooping, giving it 
a habit almost as graceful as the Cut¬ 
leaved Birch. The foliage is abund¬ 
ant, silvery underneath, and on the 
young wood especially deeply and deli¬ 
cately cut. The leaf stalks are long 
and tinted with red on the upper 
surface. It ranks among the most in¬ 
teresting and attractive lawn trees, and 
may be easily adapted to small places 
by an occasional cutting back, which 
it will bear to any degree necessary, as well as a willow.
