HERE are many Shade Trees suitable for Street and 
Avenue planting, but the 
SUGAR MAPLE 
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,—yet 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. 
The Department of Agriculture ranks the Sugar Maple as third in 
the long list of trees exempt from attacks of injurious insects. 
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 dress. This is a most 
desirable feature. 
The Sugar Maple thrives in almost every soil and position ex¬ 
cepting in low, boggy ground. 
The illustration on next page shows an avenue of Sugar Maples 
—planted about ten years. They are now about twenty-five feet in 
height and the trunks are about six inches in diameter.
