Maple - Soft or Silver Maple 
Acer Saccharinum. A fast growing native 
tree of the Mid-West, which is hardy prac- 
tically everywhere, but prefers fairly low 
ground. On dry upland it does not grow 
so fast. Leaves are finely cut, light green 
above, greyish green underneath. Need 
pruning to avoid forking of the main stem, 
and such pruning same as in the case of 
all softwood trees, must be done in mid- 
summer. Spring pruning of softwoods 
causes bleeding. Well rooted, good stems, 
selected 5 to 6-ft. trees, $1.45 each; pair, 
$2.50.
