ACER - Norway Maple “Crimson King” 
PLATANOIDES SCHWEDLERI NIGRA (Plant Patent No. 735) 
About ten years ago a fascinating purple or maroon-leaved Norway 
Maple tree was sent to America from Europe. It created the same sen- 
sation over here as it did in Europe. Several specimens were propagated 
and planted along the East Coast as well as on the Pacific Coast for 
observation. The results have been most gratifying. It proved perfectly 
hardy and happy where Maples grew and it retained its magnificent 
leaf color throughout the entire summer. The effect is not unlike that 
of the Copper Beech, but in addition, the tips of the branches and the 
young foliage are of a lighter shade and glisten brilliantly in the sun. 
One would think the tree was in bloom. Here truly is a rare thing in 
trees, a superb plant for lawn, small or large; street trees or specimen 
for contrast among other trees. Unfortunately not many big trees are 
available so we decided to offer our customers what is known as a 
"whip." This is a two-year, grafted, single stem tree.
