Box Elder {Acer negumlo).—This tree is discarded by Maynard, who says: "It soon takes an irregular form, is easily broken by wind and ice, and is rather ; As found native in the Northwest this is not correct. If properly grown in nursery with straight stem, it makes a handsome round-topped tree, is not as liable to injury from wind or ice as most other trees, and has proven a long-lived species. No shade tree yet in the prairie States makes a denser shade. 312. The Silver and Red Maples.—The soft or silver maple {Acer dasycarpum, Erhr; A. saccJiarinum, Linn) is much used in the East and Southeast. The Western type is a clean, thrifty tree when planted, but has lost in popular favor, as it is liable to be broken by storms and sleet. But this can be avoided by giving the upright form shown in Fig. 90. It runs into varying varieties as grown from seed. Among those propagated, Wier's cut- leaved is most valuable perhaps for giving variety to group-planting. 313. The Red Maple {Acer rubrtcm) is used to some extent at the East and Southeast for ornamental planting, on account of its bright-red flowers and fruit and its varied-colored leaves in autumn. As found native in Wis- consin, the species varies in form, becoming more compact and more closely resembling the native sugar maple. 314. The Elms.—The white elm ( Ulnius Americana) is one of the grandest trees of the temperate zones for street and avenue planting, and it should have a place in parks.
