ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT 
ACER JAPONICUM. Japanese Maples 
These beautiful dwarf Japanese Maples combine 
many attractive features, both in shape and color of 
foliage. The foliage is delicately and finely cut. The 
decorative value of these beautiful Maples has long 
been recognized by all lovers of beautiful trees. 
The best effect is secured by planting the various 
kinds in a bed. thus securing a pleasing color effect. 
For this purpose the plants should be set about three 
or four feet apart. The Maples will give satisfactory 
results only when planted in a rich, heavy soil, and in a 
position where they can be protected from the after¬ 
noon sun. If these plants are kept well mulched, there 
will be no difficulty in growing them. 
We offer about eight or ten of the best and most 
distinct and hardiest sorts. . each
