It sometimes reaches a height (jf more than one hundred and fifty feet, with a diameter of six or seven feet. It is found in thickets or open groves throughout Manitoba as far north as the Ridiii;,- Mountains, and extends west for a short distance into Saskatchewan, cs[)ecially along the valley of the (^u'A[)pelle.
