 the favorite coffin and easlvet material. It occupies no inconsider-

 Over a large range of territory it constitutes the favorite material 

 for siding, cornice and corner boards on account of its well-known 

 ability to hold jiaint and withstand the weather. For inside finish 

 where paint or enamel is applied, it is the peer of any wood that

 or oilj' chemicals of any character, and holds its finish indefinitely. 

 In size, poplar timber averages the largest of any type of Amer- 

 ican forest growth save the redwoods of the Pacific coast, and its 

 jiercentage of clear lumber is higher than that of any other variety. 

 Poplar still remains a surprisingly low-priced wood considering its 

 many surpassing qualities.
