Abstract

The aspens, or "popple," as they are often collectively termed, occupy a peculiar position in the forests of North America. Growing up rapidly and in great abundance over areas which have been deforested, usually by fire, they attain only a small size, produce a soft, weak wood, extremely valuable for a limited number of uses, and die at a relatively early age.
