NAPLES begin to have a rosy
hue, for the twigs and blunt
buds are red and they make
such a brave showing against the
dark gray branches Of the bare trees.
The flower buds will be found in
clusters on side spurs. They arrive
before the leaves and soon cover the
tree with robe of rosy red. The
pistillate (female) flowers are deep
crimson and the staminate (male)
flowers are orange color. Both types
OF flowers may be found on the same
tree or on separate ones.
This is also the time Of the year
to study your tree neighbors. You
are more than likely to have many
maple friends. The preferred home
site is in swampy areas or along the
borders Of streams The efficient
travelling equipment Of the maple
clan accounts for the reason that
you will see these trees in the Eastern
States and to Wisconsin. Nebraska
and Texas. 1t is more abundant in
