CNorway Naple “Crimson King” 
Acer 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 sensation over here as it did in Europe. Several speci- 
mens 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 through- 
out 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 about 6 to 7 feet 
tall, without side branches. When this ‘‘whip’’ is planted in the 
nursery it immediately starts to grow branches. It will do so, for 
you, in your garden. In two years time you will have a fast 
growing, vigorous young tree which makes it possible for you to 
enjoy this beautiful novelty two years sooner. Our supply is 
limited and will be for several years to come. Order promptly 
and you will possess one of the finest trees you ever owned.
