GLOBE NOB WAYS 
The Norway Maple is such a common and well-known 
tree that one does not expect to find anything unusual in 
the way of variety. The Globe Norway, however, is an 
extremely desirable variety. When grafted on 2 to 3 
foot stems it makes dense round heads that are perfect 
globes. The growth is extremely short and twiggy and 
wonderfully uniform, more so than the Catalpa Bungei. 
It takes some years to grow nice specimens, but when 
developed there is nothing finer for terraces or positions 
where an extremely formal tree of dwarf habit is re¬ 
quired. It really should have more attention from nur¬ 
serymen, as landscape gardeners would undoubtedly use 
them more freely if they were available.
