Notes: Label source: Orham is sometimes applied to Ulmus americana but is adopted for trade purposes and means Elm and nothing more. See letter to Director from Mr. Macoun ap 1.1901. In reply to this Mr Herbert Stone says Orham wood can readily be distinguished, . Mr Mocoun further says under date May 20th 1901 that the term Orham is simply a corruption of the French Orme and means Elm and nothing more.
