HORNBEAM. 

 (Ostrya virginiana). 

 Hornbeam is frequently called ironwood because of its great weight and 

 strength. It has an intermediate grain, is somewhat contorted, is very 

 hard and dense, tough, stiff, durable, and difficult to split, besides being 

 heavy, difficult to season and hard to work, but capable of wearing smooth 

 by use. The wood being heavy, tough, and resilient, is used extensively by 

 the handle makers and the manufacturers of vehicle parts. Its other uses 

 in this State are for mine sprags and for sides of cheese boxes. It is possible 

 that the material reported for the last named use may have been blue beech 

 (Carpinus caroliniana) , which is also called ironwood and closely resembles 

 hornbeam. Nearly three-fourths of the total amount of the material that is 

 used was supplied by the State, while of that coming from a distance a part 

 was supplied by Canadian forests.
