Maple Cedar: Flora and Fauna.—The forests contain more than 1,000 varieties of timber. Various species of silky oak, white cedar, rosewood, bean, acacia cedar (red siris), yellow siris, booyongs, red and yellow carrabin, calophyllum, white beeches, rose tulipwood, walnut, plum, maple cedar, and yellow hickory constitute a vast field of national wealth. Throughout the state are found 4,500 kinds of flowering plants and 300 kinds of ferns, and there are 30 varieties of palms and 160 different types of tropic orchids. The Mitchell, Flinders, and Panic grasses which cover much of the interior provide some of the richest natural pastures in the world.Maple syrup and maple sugar are obtained from the sap of sugar maple and black maple found in northeastern and central northern United States 'and southeastern Canada. The trees are tapped in late winter and the sap col¬lected by spouts and buckets and boiled down to syrup. See Also Japanese Maple Acer:The Kauri (Agatliif iiiistralis) of New Zealand grows to a height of 55 m/180 ft, making it the world's tallest tree. Once extensive, they are now confined to the Waipoua forest. The Maple (genus Acer) comprises 115 species of tree in the northern temperate zone. It includes the sugar maple (Acer saccharum) of North America.If while perusing the catalogs you find other plants that pique your interest more than these, simply change the plan. Remember to make a sketch of whatever you propose before beginning to build or to buy. The Japanese maple Acer maple (Acer palmatum) in my garden was pur¬chased at a garden center when very small. It is now about 10 inches high and spreads about 40 inches. It is an unknown cultivar (on sale because the label was lost) and grows very slowly. The artemesia (Artemesia Genipi or A. schmidtiana var. nana), 6 by 12 inches, is a small plant that forms a cushion-like mound of beautiful silver-gray foliage. Flowers are small and yellow. This plant is grown primarily as a foil for the other plants in the collection.

Provided shade at other times is not absolutely too dense and if other conditions are favorable or can be made so, you can have a good lawn. Many trees, such as Pin maple ash oaks, elms, birches, locusts and honey locusts allow considerable Light to Filter through their leafage; others, notably some of the maples, cast very dense shade. The Norway maple is an especially bad offender In maple ash this respect and so are its varieties, Schwedler's maple and Crimson KIn maple ashg maple.The red, scarlet or swamp maple (A. ru-brum) attaIn maple ashs heights similar to the above, has about the same range, but is most frequently found In maple ash wet ground. It is named from the brilliant color of its flowers, which are borne profusely In maple ash early sprIn maple ashg before the leaves ap¬pear and from its red fruits which appear soon after. BeIn maple ashg of good habit it is widely planted for ornamental purposes upon all kIn maple ashds of soils. Its wood is used for most of the purposes enumerated above. The Norway maple (A. platanoides) is somewhat smaller than the precedIn maple ashg species, beIn maple ashg more compact and umbrageous. It is widely planted In maple ash private grounds and In maple ash parks, but is less valuable for street plantIn maple ashg than the above because of its shorter trunk. It is a native of Europe.
