. Our native trees and how to identify them; a popular study of their habits and their peculiarities. Trees. SUGAR MAPLF The Sugar Maple makes up a great part of the native for- est of New England and the middle states. In the race of life it has scored two points ; it has learned to labor and to wait. It can grow as tall as any of its forest companions and it also knows how to prosper while young, in the shade. Consequently, there is always a young maple in training ready to take the place of any dead or dying tree. This characteristic alone has enabled it to take precedence of other trees. The leaves come out of the buds tawny and drooping, nor are they able to hold themselves out firm until they have attained nearly full size. The flowers appear with the leaves, are greenish yellow and borne in clus- ters on thread-like hairy pedicels, two and a half inches long. The fruit or maple key ripens in early autumn, and although it appears to be fully de- veloped, one rarely finds perfect seed in each of the two divisions. This is the tree which produces the maple sugar of com- merce. The testimony of early travellers shows that the Indians, like the moose and the woodpecker, knew all about the sweetness of the maple sap, but it is doubtful if they were able to make maple sugar before the coming of the Europeans ; however, the making of maple sugar was an established industry among them during the last half of the seventeenth century. Sugar-making begins with the upward flow of the crude sap in February or March and continues until the buds begin to swell; when this occurs the sap will not run freely and thoroughly changes in character. Trees twenty or thirty years old are considered the most productive, though there are instances of trees which have yielded sugar every year for a century and are still vigorous and fruitful. 6q.
