A Maple Tree 
Maples of various species are among the most attractive 
of our indigenous trees. They are ornamental in our parks and 
dooryards, some of them furnish timber of very high grade, and one 
of them furnishes a sap that is transformed into the most de- 
lectable of sugars. The California species here shown 
is chiefly prized for its ornamental qualities.
