. Fruit D. Details of fruit and fruit scales A. Pistillate flowers B. Staminate flowers THE CANOE BIRCH (Betula papyrifera) The bark of this tree is a dull, chalky white, and curls away from its few furrows in horizontal plates. On old trees thebases of the trunks are dark-coloured. The winter twigs often end in three stiff catkins, the staminate flowers sealed tight to passthe winter. In April the ovate leaves come out with the flowers, the green pistillate catkins erect to catch pollen. In autumn theseeds fall away from the 3-lobed scales in the pencil-like cones. Each seed has a pair of broad wings The Birches the European white birch. It is not a large tree, and the woods-man scorned it, until the manufacturer of wood pulp, shoe pegsand spools sent forth a demand for it. Now the owner looks withsatisfaction upon the graceful, bending birches that bow to eachother in the swamps along the streams, over abandoned fieldsand deforested mountain sides. The harvest is his in due season.T
