thus)— An extremely quick- 
Srowing tree,- 60 feet tall 
and tropical looking with 
palm-like leaves. Valuable

cities and in soils where 
other trees perish.

Trees of this group are hardy, 
vigorous, adaptable to many 
soils, free from diseases, easily 
transplanted, regular in outline 
and beautiful in leaf. Nearly all 
are brilliantly colored in Fall, 
especially the North American 
species. 
A. DASYCARPUM (Silver 
Maple) —Of quicker growth 
than most trees, and valuable 
where immediate shade is 
required. Forms a large, 
spreading head; the fine 
leaves are silvery beneath, 
turn yellow in Fall.

A. PLATANOIDES SCHWEDLERI (Schwedler Maple) —The Purple Norway Maple’s beautiful

purplish-green, in Autumn golden yellow. 
A. RUBRUM(Red Maple) —Excellent habit, scarlet flowers in early Spring,- dense foliage, gorgeous 
scarlet and pink color in Autumn. 
A. SACCHARUM (Sugar Maple)— This tree is chieftain of its kind, straight, spreading symmetrical,

very rich Autumn tints of clear yellow and scarlet. 
A. DASYCARPUM WIERI LACINIATA (Wier Cutleaf 
Maple) —A very beautiful specimen tree, with delicately 
cut leaves and distinct, half-drooping habit. The leader

large, fairly rapid growth forming a dense, rounded head of 
strong branches and broad, deep green leaves, sturdy, com¬ 
pact, vigorous, it is one of the very best formal trees for
