November 1, 1952 Norway Maple—Crimson King 
“The 20 Bechtel Crabs that you sent me a few years ST Ea) copias 
ago are now my pride and joy. I planted Clara Butt ; 
Tulips under them and early Forget-Me-Nots. With New 
your Persian Lilac hedge, my spring garden is a pic- 
ture. Now my Bechtel Crabs are a glowing coral, and 
e e 
so lovely that I am hoping I may have more.” Crimson King Maple 
Mrs. H. H. (Rates Nowe735) 
Here is a new Maple that is causing 
a sensation all over the country, It is a 
sport of the Norway Maple of Europe. 
Some 10 to 12 years ago a specimen of 
the new tree was sent from Europe to 
this country. Stock from this one tree 
was soon propagated and trials made in 
different parts of the country. It was not 
long before this new tree was on the 
road to great popularity. 
The illustration gives one a very ac 
curate picture of the tree itself and is 
not an exaggeration as to form and color. 
This color is retained all through the 
season. 5 to 6-ft. trees, $4.75 each; 2 for 
$9.00. 
POPLAR, Lombardy 
This tree is very similar in growing 
habit and appearance to the Bolleana 
Poplar. This is a green-leaved tree and 
one that is almost universally used as an 
accent tree in ornamental yard planting. 
In our section. of the country we have 
found it hardier than the Bolleana. 
Heavy 5 to 6 ft. trees, each $1.25; 2 for 
Bechtel’s Improved $2.25; 6 for $6.00, not prepaid.
