The Wild Pine Tree» Pinus tylvestris 



A TREE native of many parts af Germany, 

 very much resembling what ia called the manured 

 pine, or simply the pine b^jfore described. It growt 

 to be a large and tall tree ; the trunk is covered 

 with a rough brown bark, that of the branches is 

 paler and smoother. The leaves are very narrow, 

 and short ; they grow two out of a case or husk, at 

 in the other, and are of a bluish green colour. 

 They differ principally in being shorter. The 

 flowers are yellovj^ish, and like the others very small 

 and inconsiderable, the cones are small, brown, and 

 hard, and sharp at the tops, they contain kernels ia 

 their shells, anjong the scales as the other ; but 

 they are smaller. , , 



The kernels have the same virtues as those of the 

 other pines, but being little, they are not regarded. 

 The resin which flows from this tree, either natural- 

 ly, or when it is cut for that purpose, is what we 

 call common turpentine^ It is a thick substance, 

 like honey^ of a brownish colour, and very strong 



and disagreeable smell. 



When this turpentine has been distilled to make 

 oil of turpentine, the resin which reraair:?, is what 

 we call common resin; if they put out the fire 

 m time, it is yellow resin ; if they continue it 

 longer, it is black resin.. They often boil the tur>- 

 peotine in water without distijliiig it for the com- 

 mon resin ; and when they take it out half boilrd 



for this purpose ; it is what we call Burgundy
