I (.rit 'T rtiI I»!'' This tree, which suirpasses most others of North America in height and in the beauty of its foliage and of its flowers, is also one of the most interesting from the numerous and useful applications oi its wood. Wher- ever it abounds, and throughout the greater part of the United States, it is called Poplar. In Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, it is known by the name ot fyfute fVood and of Canoe Wood^ and more rarely, by that of Tulip Tree. This last denomination, which, since the introduction of the tree, has been adopted in Europe, is certainly the most proper, because the flower nearly resembles the tulip, and because the tree bears in none of its characters any analogy to the Pop- lars , which are in every respect inferior to it. But the name of Poplar has become so generally sanctioned by use in the United States, that I have not felt at liberty to change it, and have only annexed the other as a syno- nyme, with a feeble hope of its ultimately prevailing. > The southern extremity of Lake Cham plain, in latitude 45% may be 'considered as the northern limit, and the Connecticut river, in the longitude of 72% as the east- ern limit of the Tulip Tree. It is only beyond the Hud- i j«' M:.
