Sugar Maples grow in the garden here and for many years in the month of March have been ta pod; cans catch this clear sap w ich in car- ried in buckets to the stove. The sugar Maple is a wonderful tree! It is the beat all round ornamental tree, beautiful in autumn when the autumn tinta are upon it and lovely all summer. then in early spring giving us sweet syrup. There is a New Hampshire Maple called Sweet Sue. nine per cent of Sue's sap is sugar. That is three times sweeter than the average for a sugar maple. Re- search is being made by scien- tists and the ultimate goal is to give farmers pedigreed maple trees with sap as rich as, or richer than, Sweet Sueta. The su ar maple is a tree of marked mportance in regions where it abounds. Just as its up is a valued item in the economic lives of the country folk. so do its t foliage splendor and its impresslveness through the rest of the year contribute richly to the beauty and nce the fame of the landscape. inally. its pale, hard. close-grained wood is high- ly valued for cabinetwork and the flooring and interior finish of houses. Under abnormal growth conditions the wood grain may be distorted into that distinctive and most pleasing pattern known as curly or bird's eye maple. Al- ways. though, you can count on two outstanding interior wood- work ed antagcs: subtle varia- tions in color and pattern. and the ability to take and hold a fine finish. By nature the Sugar Maple is found in lower Canada and the northern tier of states as far west as Wisconsin, and southward through the Alleghenics to Geor- gia and in our own Maritime Provinces in Eigln. Albert County they hold a Maple festival. This Festival first originated about one hundred and fifty years ago.
