Soft or Silver Maple 70 Secc ths 
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 zgreenish-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 Norway Maple 
Same as for planting fruit’ trees. The holes must be dug deep and wide enough to allow 
plenty of room for all the roots, without cramping them. Digging the tree holes a few 
inches deeper than really necessary permits the filling in of loose soil in the bottom, in 
which the new rooting will take place quicker and surer. Soil to be used in the bottom, 
as well as around the roots of the tree, must not contain fresh fertilizer of any kind. 
Use good ordinary garden soil which has been under some kind of cultivation before.
