THE: PRODUCTION OF LUMBER IN 1913. 23 
ASH. 
Of more than a dozen species of ash growing in the United States 
three kinds of ash are important sources of lumber. White ash 
(Frazinus americana) is the most valuable and is cut mostly in the 
central hardwood States and Northeast and to some extent in the Lake 
States. A great deal of the ash lumber cut in the Lake States comes 
from the’ black ash (Fraxinus nigra), while the same species is cut 
to considerable extent in the Northeast. Green ash (/Fraxinus lan- 
ceolata) is the principal source of ash lumber in the Southern States. 
In the Pacific Coast States Oregon ash (Fraxinus oregona) 1s some- 
times cut, while red ash (Frazinus pennsylvanica) is used to a limited 
extent in the East.

HICKORY. 
Ten or more kinds of hickory are cut in this country, and the 
trees grow naturally nowhere else in the world. The wood of all 
species is valuable, but most of that in use is cut from five or six 
species, which are shagbark (Hicoria ovata), shellbark (Hicoria lacini- 
osa), pignut (Hrcoria glabra), bitternut (Hicoria minima), and mock- 
ernut (Hicona alba). One or more of these hickories are found in 
every State in the eastern part of the United States, and the wood 
is also abundant in Missouri and Arkansas. The hickory growing 
in the Ohio Valley and along tributary streams supplies the bulk of 
that im use. The industries which use the largest quantities of 
hickory secure it in the form of blanks, squares, or billets, rather 
than in the form of lumber.
