=7. Oregon Ash= (_Fraxinus Oregana_). Small to medium-sized tree. Occurs from western Washington to California. =8. Carolina Ash= (_Fraxinus Caroliniana_). Medium-sized tree. Occurs in the Carolinas and the coast regions southward. ASPEN (See Poplar) BASSWOOD =9. Basswood= (_Tilia Americana_) (Linden, Lime Tree, American Linden, Lin, Bee Tree). Medium- to large-sized tree. Wood light, soft, stiff, but not strong, of fine texture, straight and close-grained, and white to light brown color, but not durable in contact with the soil. The wood shrinks considerably in drying, works well and stands well in interior work. It is used for cooperage, in carpentry, in the manufacture of furniture and woodenware (both turned and carved), for toys, also for panelling of car and carriage bodies, for agricultural implements, automobiles, sides and backs of drawers, cigar boxes, excelsior, refrigerators, trunks, and paper pulp. It is also largely cut for veneer and used as "three-ply" for boxes and chair seats. It is used for sounding boards in pianos and organs. If well seasoned and painted it stands fairly well for outside work. Common in all northern broad-leaved forests. Found throughout the eastern United States, but reaches its greatest size in the Valley of the Ohio, becoming often 130 feet in height, but its usual height is about 70 feet. =10. White Basswood= (_Tilia heterophylla_) (Whitewood). A small-sized tree. Wood in its quality and uses similar to the preceding, only it is lighter in color. Most abundant in the Alleghany region. =11. White Basswood= (_Tilia pubescens_) (Downy Linden, Small-leaved Basswood). Small-sized tree. Wood in its quality and uses similar to _Tilia Americana_. This is a Southern species which makes it way as far north as Long Island. Is found at its best in South Carolina. BEECH
