SUGAR MAPLE WITH MANY DEAD BRANCHES. 

 A surprisingly large proportion of Sugar Maples along 

 streets in towns and cities exhibit decayed cavities, broken 

 branches and ugly stubs due to a weakened condition from 

 growing under circumstances that are not favorable for 

 normal development. Along village and city streets the 

 Sugar Maple makes its best growth in twenty-five to 

 thirty years. Naturally this specie is very beautiful, but 

 the city street is not conducive to the development of the 

 beauty of the Sugar Maple. The sugar maple borer and 

 the cottony maple scale do considerable damage to this 

 tree. For general street planting the Norway Maple is 

 superior to the Sugar Maple.
