Ash- LEAVKD Maple (102) or Box ' Elder ' — Acer Negiindo — has compound leaves and is generally a small tree but is sometimes shrubby with smooth dark green bark on the twigs. The shrubby maples wild in America and often cultivated are: Moun- tain Maple (103) — Acer spic^tum — with 3-lobed coarsely serrated leaves and dense upright clusters of flowers (June) and fruit; and Striped Maple (104) — Acer pennsylv&nicum — with greenish white- striped bark. The leaves of the striped maple are large, 6 to 8 inches long, with 3 finely serrated lobes. The flower-clusters are drooping, in spring. The best, most varied and beautiful of the shrubby maples are those of China and Japan. [Layers ; twig cuttings ; seeds.].
