The poplars (and the spruces) are the most T-idely distributed trees in Canada. The poplar grows all along the southern edge of Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacifle and it stretches northward all over that vast expanse as far as trees grow It is known under different nameis, as aspen, baisam poplar, balm of Gilead, cottonwood and poplar It is not only one of the most common trees, * but. until lately, it was the most despised tree. Of late years, however, it has for many reasons come to be viewed with more favor. The most important species are the balsam poplar or balm of Oilead and the large tooth poplar. These trees attain a height in the forest of from 80 to 100 feet and a diameter of 3 to 5 feet. In the open the poplar forms an irregular top of the pyramic- shape with a few large branches. The upper side of the leaf is much darker than the lower, which give it a characteristic appearance as Its leaves are moved about by the wind. The cottonwood gets its name from the downy growth which surrounds the seeds.
