Norway Maple. 



To appreciate the value of trees, one has only to compare the 

 comfort and beauty of suburban avenues on hot summer days, 

 with the barrenness and glare of downtown city streets. For the 

 street or as a specimen planted in the home grounds they perform a 

 real service to man in the beauty they furnish, and protect him 

 from the rays of the summer sun.
