MAPLE 
The Red Norway Maple 
(Acer platanoides schwedleri nigra) 
Patent No. 735 
A REAL NOVELTY 
This unusual tree is a beautiful form of Schwedler 
Maple, which was originated in Europe. It is a bril- 
liant crimson, which color it retains all through the 
summer months, whereas the Schwedler does not. It 
has been under observation in America for eleven 
years and has kept its brilliant coloring all through 
the entire season both in the East and on the Pacific 
Coast. One of the most outstanding ornamental trees 
ever produced! Every home has a spot for one or 
more of these trees—it will increase the value of your 
home considerably. Tall grower. 
Price: 2-Yr., 4-5 ft. trees, $3.50 each; 2 for $6.00.
