Red-fruited form of Acer Negundo L.1 —
This distinctive form of Acer Negundo L.
was first called to my attention by Mr. L. T.
Owens of Toronto. It had been collected by
a friend of his at Campbeilford, Ontario.
Since then it has been discovered growing
near Ottawa and I believe the red-colored
fruit makes it worthy of separation from the
typical green-colored fruit of Acer Negundo
L.

sameris immaturis coloratis sanguineis bu-'
balis (Hort. Color Chart II, No. 00823/3) post
