TREES GROWING IN RICH SOIL. 197 It is a more valuable species but is seldom found outside of its natural range which is in the vicinity of southern Illinois and the neighbouring states. Its bark and seeds are used medicinally. FAMILY SHAPE HEIGHT RANGE MapU. Dome-iike, y>-\3o/cet. Ne^u Foundiand southward rounded. and weitward. SUQAR riAPLE. HARD HAPLE. ROCK HAPLE. SUGAR-TREE. {Plate CI I/.) Acer Sciccharum. TIME OF BLOOM Aprils May. Fruit; Sept. Bark: light grey; rather smooth, becoming rough and scaly with age. Leaves : simple; opposite; with long petioles ; rounded in outline, squared or cordate at the base, with three, five or seven coarsely cut and sharply pointed lobes, the lower pair smaller than the other three, and at times, entire; sinuses, rounded. Rich green and glabrous above, lighter below and pubescent, espe- cially so along the ribs. Flmvers: greenish yellow; growing on drooping pedicels in sessile, abundant corymbs, and appearing with the leaves. Calyx: bell-shaped; fringed. Petals: none. Samaras: greenish yellow; drooping or. slender, hairy pedicels; the wings broad and. slightly spreading; about one inch loog. This is one of the very good trees. It is so perfect in outline, so beautiful and useful. Perhaps it is most widely known through its sap, from which is made the main quantity of maple sugar. A square block of this well-known article of commerce, however, can hardly disperse the same love that is felt for the tree by those living in its neigh- bourhood, and who look eagerly forward to the time when sugar is made. Then is the tree's yearly festival.
