An avenue of Sugar Maples planted about ten years. 
There are many SHADE TREES suitable for STREET and AVENUE 
planting, but the 
combines more attractive features than any 
other tree. It is a moderately rapid grower, 
and in some soils and conditions its growth 
is equal to that of trees which are considered “fast growers.” 
The branches are not brittle and storms will not break the tree. 
Its habit is somewhat of a pyramidal character — v-et sufficiently .spreading to give 
ample shade. Its trunk and branches have a clean, straight growth. 
The foliage is clean, neat and attractive. It has not the density of the Norway 
Maple, consequently while making shade the breeze is not obstructed. 
Few trees surpass the Sugar Maple in the beauty of its autumn coloring — every 
shade of color, from a yellow to a deep crimson, can be found when the tree is in its 
brilliant autumn dre.ss. This is a most desirable feature. As a specimen tree or for 
setting on the lawn in groups it has no equal. 
The Sugar Maple thrives in almost every soil and po.sition excepting a low, boggy 
ground. 
The illustration .shows an avenue of Sugar Maple.s — planted about ten years. 
Tliey are now about twenty-five feet in height and the trunks are about .six inches in 
diameter.
