LARCH. BLACK LAECH. TAMARACK. HACKMATACK. 



Northern Newfoundland and Labrador to the eastern shores of Hudson bay, cape Churchill and northwest to 

 the northern shores of the Great Bear lake and the valley of the Mackenzie river within the Arctic circle ; south 

 through the northern states to northern Pennsylvania, northern Indiana and Illinois, and central Minnesota. 



A tree 24 to 30 meters in height, with a trunk 0.60 to 0.90 meter in diameter; moist uplands and intervale 

 lands, or south of the boundary of the United States in cold, wet swamps, often covering extensive areas, here 

 much smaller and less valuable. 



Wood heavy, hard, very strong, rather coarse-grained, compact, durable in contact with the soil; bands of 

 small summer cells broad, very resinous, dark colored, conspicuous, resin passages few, obscure; medullary rays 

 aumerou!*, hardly distinguishable, color, light brown, the sap-wood nearly white; specific gravity, 0.6236 ; ash, 0.33; 

 preferred and largely used for the upper knees of vessels, for ship timbers, fence posts, telegraph poles, railway 

 ties, etc. 



The inner bark of the closely-allied European larch is recommended in the treatment of chronic catarrhal 

 afiections of the pulmonary and urinary passages; probably that of the American species would be equally 

 eflBcacious.
