not only give great flexibility and free

Next to Eastwood. sugar maple,

Eastwood has several advantages as
standing tree in the woodlot. In
the first place, it's blossoms furnish
considerable source of honey which is
always in good demand, and when the
tree is cut it readily regenerates itself
from sprouts, the best of which should
be favored in reproducing the stand.
