SILVER MAPLE—One of our most popular deciduous 
shade trees. 
LIQUIDAM BAR—Its rich green leaves turn in autumn 
to red, gold and maroon. 
DECIDUOUS SHADE TREES 
To us it seems one of the first considerations in planting a home should be to put in a few properly 
spaced shade trees to shield the south and west windows from the hot summer sun. If you have neglected 
to attend to this matter, better give it serious consideration this winter when good dormant shade trees 
are easiest on your exchequer. Approximate heights of trees follow descriptions. 
Prices are for bare-root dormant stock unless otherwise specified. January, February, March delivery. 
ORIENTAL MAPLE 
Acer palmatum. The long slender branches of this variety 
are closely lined with small deeply cut leaves that in spring

grown as a shrub or used successfully as an espalier. Sun or 
shade. 10-12 ft. Balled, 3-4 ft., $7.50; 5-gal. containers, $4.50;
