The elm is large tree with trunk
spreading at the base and parting
above into several large branches
which continue upward only spreading
slightly as q rule during the first third
of their length, then spread out, their
extremeties usually dropping grace
fully. Frequently in the forest and
sometimes in the open the typical
shape is departed from. The bark is
gray, rough and haky.
The leaf is oval, sharply pointed; the
base blunter and very symmetrical;
the edge of the leaf sharply toothed ;
its upper surface slightly rough. Its
length is from three to six inches.
The flower, which is small and In
conspicuous, comes before the leaves in
March or April. The trees fruit is a
small green samara which falls about
six weeks after the flowers mature. >
The timber of the elm is very tough
and durable. The bark was sometimes
used by the Indians to make canoes Of
when they could not get that of the
birch
