 and in some regions all are found occupying the same area. At least 

 one-half of the States furnish basswood logs for sawmills.

ELM. 



Lumbermen recognize soft and rock elm, the latter name being 

 frequently applied to tough wood cut from any elm species. Soft 

 gray or white elm (Ulmus americana) is most widely dispersed and 

 is more abundant than all the others combined. It is found in all 

 States east of the Rocky Mountains and furnishes the large part of 

 the elm lumber reported. 



Cork or the true rock elm ( Ulmus racemosa) is found growing across 

 the northern States from New England to Nebraska and as far 

 south as Missouri and Tennessee. 



Slippery elm ( Ulmus pubescens) covers the eastern half of the 

 United States, but is nowhere plentiful. It is often called red elm. 



Wing elm ( Ulmus alata) and cedar elm ( Ulmus crassifolia) are 

 confined to the States of the lower Mississippi.
