Northern and Northeastern States. 



Northern United States . 



Northern and Southwestern 

 (in United States) ; in Pacific re 

 gion, from 6,000 to 10,000 leet ele 

 vatiou. 



Adapted to drier and poorer soils than other birches. 

 Short-lived ; rapid grower ; *tn-<ititg readily from the stump. 

 Probably least important of the birches. 



Beep, moderately loose, ami somewhat moist soil ; eau endure a 

 ui l Mtil, but will not thrive on a dry one. 



Rapid and persistent grower; sprouts vigorously from the 

 stump; endures moderate shade. 



Not very hardy, but in eool situations a desirable adjunet in 

 forestry. 



Beep, rich, moist, well-drained soils of mountain coves, lower 

 slopes, and on the banks of streams; frequent also on rieh 

 limestone soils of the plain, and succeeds on dry, gravelly, 

 clayey, and sandy soils of moderate richness; important for 

 Southern planting in place of the Northern hasswood. 



Rieh, moist soil, low ground, thriving in swamps subject to 

 overflow; grows well on moist upland. 



\yide climatic range, but liable to frost when young; light 

 needing ; secondary in forestry. 



Adapted to a variety of soils, but best in a moist, strong, loamy 

 one. 



Exceedingly rapid grower; sprouts vigorously from the stump; 

 light needing; thinning <ntt rapidly; short-lived ami exhaust- 

 ive to the soil; moat readily propagated. 



Has been recoMiin.-M.lcil for planting on Western prairies, 

 chiefly on account of its rapidity of growth, ease of procuring 

 plant material, and of propagation. In forestry should be 

 used only as a nurse with better and shady kinds. 



Northern States, in moist situations; grows well in all fresh 

 upland soils. 



A substitute foi-eoltonwoiid in the most northern localities. 

 Thrives in moist, rich, well-drained soils. 



( If value mainly as a tree naturally covering denuded mountain 

 sides and as a quick-growing nurse for better kinds.
