Canadian manufacturers, using wood as a raw material, are no doubt well aware of the {iniited supply in Canada of such woods as hickory, oak, walnut and cherry and they probably have a very good idea of the extent of the sujiply of the more common and more ])lcnti- ful hardwoods, such as birch, beech, and maple ; but it might be of interest to many manufacturers to outline the natural distribution in Canada of the more important hardwoods. In the first place it might be well to remind you of the fact that there are no woods of commer- cial importance found in Canada and not found in the United States. In most cases the supply in the Untied those woods which are common to both countries exceeds the supply in Canada. On account of the rigors of the climate in the extreme northern part of Canada tree growth of all kinds comes to an end long before we reach the shores of the Arctic Ocean. The extreme limit of tree growth may be roughly indicated by a line drawn from the mouth of the Mackenzie River, southeast to the mouth of the Churchill River on the Hudson's Bay and following the shores of the bay so as to in- clude the. gr£ater part of the peninsula of Labrador. South of this line the tree growth is represented by spruce, balsam, tamarack, pop- lar and jackpine; at first stunted and distorted by the extreme climatic conditions. Further south improving and developing into heavier stands which ultimately form the vast pulpwood resources of the Do- minion in the East, and the local supply of saw timber in the northern parts of the Prairie Provinces. The only hardwood which might be of interest to the wood turning indu
