light gray, foliage dark green, turning to gorgeous orange, 
gold and scarlet tones in Autumn. Yellowish green flow-

ers in April or May,.followed by winged seed pods in Sep¬ 
tember. It is from the sap of this tree that we obtain our 
pure maple syrup. Is a very fine lawn tree, in fact one of 
the best for park and broad street plantings. When used 
for street plantings should be spaced 50 feet apart as it 
has a broad spread. Should not be planted in narrow 
paved streets as it suffers from intense heat and drouth 
Ideal for open spaces.
