M.\PLE. Trees of the ^enus Acer, ! 

 of which seven are indigenous to 

 America ; they are (or the nio.st part 

 natives of the North and Canada, 

 where extensive forests of the sugar 

 maple exist. The wood, though often 

 beautifully ornamental, curled and 

 spotted (bird's-eye maple) from the 

 sugar-maple trees, is soft, and inca- 

 pable of enduring exposure ; it is 

 therefore confined to cabinet uses, 

 and forms excellent fuel, yielding an 

 ash from which four fifths of the pot- 

 ash of commerce is derived. The 

 maples require a deep, light soil, and 

 become fully developed on rich allu- 

 vial plains. 



The white maple (.4. eriocarpum) is 

 a Western tree, very early, and yields 

 a saccharine juice, from which sugar 

 is made in Ohio. The red (A. ruhrum) 

 is also sweet, and yields a handsome 

 wood : it flourishes on rich bottoms. 

 The striped or moose wood {A. stri- 

 atum) is confined to the most North- 

 8 s 



ern localities, and furnishes excel- 

 lent browse for cattle. The mount- 

 ain maple (.-1. montanum) is a small 

 Northern dwarf, of six or eight feet. 

 ■The sugar maple {A. sacckarinum) 

 abounds from 43° to 46° North lati- 

 tude : it often rises to 70 or 80 feet, 

 with a beautiful white bark. The 

 wood is highly ornamental. The 

 trees are tapped with a three-quarter- 

 inch auger early in March, at eighteen 

 to twenty inches from the ground ; 

 two holes are made in each tree, not 

 deeper than two inches within the 

 wood. Tubes of wood are inserted 

 into the holes, which convey the sap 

 to troughs or buckets on the ground. 

 The sap is collected each day, and 

 kept in casks until it can be boiled 

 down. All the arrangements for fin- 

 ishing the work are taken to the su- 

 gar camp, so that the boiling advan- 

 ces nearly as fast as the juice is ob- 

 tained. The boilers are of iron, of 

 fifteen to twenty gallons, and only
