CANADIAN ASH. 



175 



The wood is reddish-brown in colour, and con- 

 siderably darker than the English Ash. It is plain and 

 straight in the grain, moderately hard and heavy, tough, 

 elastic, and easy to work. It is very suitable for em- 

 ployment for oars to boats, and is consequently in great 

 request for that service, while its economical uses are as 

 wide and general as that of our native growth.
