714—~Crimson King Maple 
(Purple-Crimson Foliage All Summer!) 
You will want to be among the first to own this magnificent new tree. 
Crimson King is a beautiful form of Schwedler Maple, originating in Europe. 
Like’ the Schwedler it develops a rounded, compact top of unusual symmetry, 
but differs in having foliage of deep purple-crimson all through the growing 
months. Crimson King has been under ciose observation in this country for ten 
ears, and in every instance has kept its rich coloring throughout the season. 
Ginn? is very limited, so order early. We regret not to have a good color 
photograph of it, for as has been said—''Crimson King is beautiful beyond 
words”. Each 2
