Pure Maple Syrup 
The wooded section of our nursery contains many hard 
Maple trees, which we tap in the spring, usually between 
March 25 and April 1. This sap is gathered and boiled in a 
large pan outdoors. It takes from 30 to 38 gallons of sap to 
make one gallon of good maple syrup. You can see that the 
process requires a lot of boiling, and can profitably be done 
only where firewood is cheap. Maple sugar is made by 
further boiling the syrup to remove more moisture; then the 
syrup is cooled and begins to crystallize. A maple twig with 
three or four prongs may be put into this thickened syrup and 
in a few days will be covered with large clear crystals of 
delicious maple sugar. 5-lb. pail $3.50, postpaid; gal. $6.00, 
postpaid.
