Soft or Silver Maple “°° S2cchar- 
inum. Another 
hardy native upland tree, almost as popular 
in the Midwest as the American Elm. It is 
a rapid grower, and by planting -our Soft 
Maples you will get husky, well-shaped trees 
of which you will be proud at all times. Do 
not mistake the Silver Maple for a white- 
leaved tree, as the foliage of the Silver Ma- 
ple is light green above and of greenish-gray 
color underneath, deeply cut. The trees with 
the leaves of silvery white underneath are 
Poplars (Belleana and Silver Poplars). Prices 
of our Soft Maples are for strictly first class 

trees.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS SGabiNorwiys Maple

plenty of Aonater all the roots, without cramping them. Digging sul holes. a is 
inches deeper than really necessary permits the filling in of loose soil in the ae eal i 
which the new rooting will take place quicker and surer. Soil to be used in the erenr 
as well as around the roots of the tree, must not contain fresh fertilizer of. an ‘ nd. 
Use good ordinary garden soil which has been under some kind of cultivation before.
