 Ornamental trees for shdde and avenues. In May quantities of 

 beautiful spikes of white flowers appear from among the deep green 

 foliage. Frequently the leaves of this type seem to bum or brown 

 during the Summer; it has been found that they are not so apt to do 

 so when the trees are planted in locations with rather moist soil.

Sugar or Rock Maple 

 (Acer Saccharum) 

 Much used for shade on lawns and public parks. Also suited for 

 street planting in suburban locahties. Being naturally somewhat 

 higher headed than the Norwaj' Maple, many people prefer it to 

 that variety. It is this maple whose leaves in the Fall turn to such 

 brilUant shades of orange crimson. Is found growing naturally 

 throughout the eastern United States where in some sections the sap 

 of the trees is used for maple sugar. It was in the heart of the 

 "Berkshires" that the early settlers learned the art of maple sugar 

 making from the Indians.
