THIS rapid-growing tree occurs in all parts of Massa- ' chusetts and on every kind of ground, although it thrives best in deep, rich soil in the vicinity of streams. As to habit, it usually attains a height of fifty to seventy-five feet and a trunk diameter of two to three feet. In the open the trunk divides at a few feet from the ground into two or three large limbs, then assumes a broad, round WHITE ASH Leaf and fruit. One-third natural size. The bark on the trunk is dark brown or deep gray. It is deeply divided by furrows, which are parallel or connect at intervals into broad, flattened ridges. The season's shoots are olive-green and smooth. The leaves are opposite, eight to twelve inches in length and composed of seven to nine leaflets. The individual leaflets are egg-shaped or oblong, three to five inches in length, stalked, remotely toothed and dark green on the upper surface. The flowers appear in May before the leaves. 64.
