White Ash : Fraxinus americana This species leads all others in value when quality of wood, size of tree, length of life, adaptableness to varying conditions of soil, and facility of propagation are considered; and probably there has been more White Ash lumber con- sumed in this country than of all the other species of Ashes combined. Its natural range is from Maine to northern Florida, westward, intermittently, to Minnesota, and, in some localities, across the Mississippi River into eastern Ka...nsas and Nebraska, and its botanical range is, no doubt, greater. Its best development is claimed to be in the Ohio River basin. Very fine specimens were found in Pennsylvania, especially on the gentle slopes and along the streams of the Alleghany Mountains. It was there frequently seen from one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five feet high and four feet in diameter with a straight and slightly tapering stem, clean of limbs for fifty to sixty feet or more. It was never found in pure stands, but mixed with other broadleaf WHITE ASH 259 trees, and sometimes where even White Pine and Hemlock were to be seen.
