Its wood is of an excellent quality and elegant appearance, and is usefully employed in the arts. In the Atlantic as well as in the Western States, this tree is known only by the name which I ^have adopted. It is more or less abundant as the soil and climate ane more ^or less favourable to its growth, to whicli||he'<filtremes of heat and cold in the seasons, and of dryness and humidity in the soil, are alike unpropi- tioos. Thus in the district of Maine, where ihe vtdnter is long and intense, it hardly €;jtceeds So or 4o feet in height, and from 8 to 12 inches in diameter; in the southern and maritime parts of the Carolinas and of Georgia, where the summer is intemperately hot and where the soil is generally arid and sandy, it is rarely seen, and on the banks of rivers where the ground is too wet, its dimensions are stinted; but in the upper part of these States, where the climate is milder and the soil more fertile, it is sufficiently common, though less multiplied than in Virginia and Pennsylvania. It abounds, I II. la.
