Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) and sugarberry (Celtis missis- 
sipmensis) are listed without distinction as hackberry lumber. 
Both occur in the lower Mississippi Valley States and westward, and 
hackberry is scattered over most of the United States east of the 
Rocky Mountains, but in many regions is very scarce. 
Butternut (Juglans cinerea) ranges from New Brunswick to 
Georgia and from Dakota to Arkansas. 
Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is found chiefly in the Southern © 
- States, but it grows northward to Kansas and Connecticut. 
~ Dogwood (Cornus florida) is too small for saw logs, but is cut into 
billets suitable for shuttle makers. The principal supply comes 
from Tennessee, Kentucky, the Carolinas, and Virginia, but its 
range covers the eastern half of the United States. 
Pecan (Hicoria pecan) is a hickory with wood inferior to the 
commercial hickories. It is a southern species more valuable for 
nuts than lumber. 
Ebony is foreign. Several trees belonging to the same family as 
persimmon produce the wood. 
Two alders are sawed for lumber—red alder (Alnus oregona) and 
white alder (Alnus rhombifolia)—both native of the Pacific coast. 
Applewood is cut from many varieties of apple of planted stock. 
Bois d’Are, or Osage orange (Toxylon pomiferum), has been widely 
planted, but its native home is in Texas and Oklahoma. 
Chinquapin (Castanea pumila) ranges from Pennsylvania to Florida 
and westward to Texas. Sometimes lumber which is listed as 
chinquapin is chinquapin oak (ae acuminata), which occupies 
much the same range. 
Coffeetree (Gymnocladus dioicus) is found scattered over much of 
the eastern half of the United States, but is most abundant in Ken- 
tucky and Tennessee. 
Crabapple is a term applied to a number of species in the eastern 
half of the country, but the sweet crab (Pyrus coronaria) is the best 
known. 
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) 1 is an Australian tree whichis grow- 
ing successfully from plantings in California. More than 50 other 
ee of eucalyptus are growing in California, several of which are 
sometimes converted into timber locally. 
Hornbeam (Ostrya virginiana) is found from Nova Scotia to Texas. 
Tronwood is a term applied to so many woods, both domestic and 
foreign, that the word is meaningless in determining the species 
referred to. It is often applied to ignum-vite. 
Jenisero, prima vera, and white mahogany (Tabebuia donnell- 
smith) are different names for the same species, which grows in 
southern Mexico and Central America.
