TRUE JAPANESE MAPLE 
Exceedingly decorative in its variable leaf colorings and 
forms, foliage brilliant red, purple, coppery, or sometimes 
green, with but a hint of bronze. Often there will be vary¬ 
ing tones in the same leaf, laid on in zonings or blotch- 
ings. Leaves are jagged, palmate, or sometimes slashed 
so deeply, and to such slenderness of part, that they seem 
scarce more than the bright hued framework upon which 
a leaf will be built. The Japanese Maple is a large shrub, 
or small tree, more or less as one wishes to handle or 
consider it. Usually it is grown as a separate specimen, 
but perhaps it is more wisely used as part of a landscape 
picture. Seeds sown in open ground seed-beds in late 
autumn or early winter, or otherwise given ‘‘y” culture, 
will usually germinate well the following spring. Botan- 
ically it is Acer palmatum. Please note that you are likely 
to get any or all of the forms mentioned here, with others, 
from the lot of seedlings that you grow. Separate forms 
do not come true from seed, but we have yet to see a 
seedling tree of it that was not worth the having. Pkt. 15c.
