Text Appearing Before Image:
sweet birch sapling, andchews it sedulously as he fares through the woods. The stimu-lating flavour of wintergreen, which is in the bark the year round,is especially strong in spring. Wintergreen oil, used in flavouringmedicines, and esteemed in the treatment of rheumatism for thesalicylic acid it contains, is extracted from the bark of thisspecies. Birch beer is brewed from the sweet sap. The spicyfragrance extends to the leaves also, and a twig enables one toidentify the tree at any time of year. In Kamchatka thenatives strip the inner bark of B. lenta into long shreds likevermicelli. This is done in spring, when it is richest in starch andsugar. These strips are dried for winter use as food. They areboiled with caviar and with fish. The wood of cherry birch is stained to imitate mahogany andcherry. This is a pity, for it has character of its own and beautythat deserve recognition. It has its own good colour, reddishbrown, and this in natural finish/ well rubbed, is lustrous and 174
Text Appearing After Image:
Fruit and details of lruit A. Pistillate flowers fi. Staminate flowers THE CHERRY BIRCH (Betula lento) The brown bark has a silky outside layer marked with horizontal slits, just as cherry trees have. On old trunks this smoothlayer is replaced by rough, broken plates. The wood is like black cherry. The twigs have a pleasantf aromatic taste, quiteunlike the rank, bitter taste of cherry bark. The leaves come out in pairs from side buds in late April. The staminate catkinsare in evidence in winter, sealed up tight at the ends of twigs. In early April they shake out their golden pollen on every breeze,and the erect green catkins of pistillate flowers show themselves close at hand. In early summer the oval, erect cones shedtheir seeds. One figure shows the 3-lobed bracts still hanging by threads from the central cone stem

Please add additional copyright tags to this image if more specific information about copyright status can be determined. See Commons:Licensing for more information.
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
