Its foliage is particularly luxuriant, and when touched by the frosts of autumn is remarkable for its brilliancy of colouring. The wood of the Maple is very close-grained and hard, highly ornamental and esteemed for the beauty of its fibre ; when polished it possesses a silky lustre. Strong and heavy, it lacks durability, and from its early decay when exposed to moisture it is not sought after in civil or naval architecture. It is used for heavy furniture, cabinet work and for railway carriages... where strength is required. A peculiar arrangement of fibre in some speci- mens, in concentric circles, resembling the eye of a bird, has given the name " birds eye " to such varieties, which make handsome articles of furniture and picture frames, and command a high price. From the sap of several varieties of this tree is manufactured " maple sugar " and syrup, described elsewhere. Maple when obtainable is universally pre- ferred for fuel, from the great heat it throws out. The White Maple (Acer Dasycarpum), is a large tree from sixty to eighty feet high, with a trunk five to six feet in diameter, common in the east, with wood of little value, soft and white.
