Fagus s. var. purpurea. Purple-leaved Beech. 15. Discovered in a German forest. An elegant vigorous tree, 
growing 40 to 50 feet high. The foliage in spring is deep purple, and later in the season changes to crimson, 
and again to a dull purplish green in the fall. $1.50 to $2.00.

leaved trees. (See cut.) $1.50 to $3.00.
