PI. 1034 (1753). Balsam Poplar, Tacmahac. Fig. 3. A tall upright tree, with a nairow straight top, growing in woods and along streams in the Northernmost States, and also in Northern Europe and Asia. Leaves thick and firm, \|5 erect, whitened beneath, usually smaller than in most other poplars of this Group : in shape ovate- lanceolate or oval, taper- ing towards the top and sometimes at the base, finely and obtusely toothed. Young branches nearly or quite C3lindri- cal. The native form is occasionally seen about farm buildings and road- sides, where it makes a durable and pleasant tree ; but it is most too stiff for the pleasantest effects and too narrow for the best shade. The dull whiteness of the under side of the leaves affords a pleasant variety and contrast in its foliage, and the fragrance of the resinous buds in spring is pleas- ant to most persons. It is a desirable tree for occasional plant- ing, but, like the Lombardy, it generally appears to best advant- age when placed amongst other trees- It is a hardier tree than the Lombardy, and does not run quickly to such extravagant heights. In cultivation from Russian sources, it is known as. J. Fopultis halsami/era {i6 Voronesh.) {yi nat. sice.) Nos. 16 and 26 Voronesh and 32 Riga.
