to be* n'^rel ted, perhaps, tluit they have lK»,cn found necessary, tlie more because through their 

 use not a lew luisconceptions aud dithculties have arisen between consumers, manufacturers, and 

 wholesale dealers, owing to the difficulty in defiiung what tree species furnish lumber included 

 by sucli name or names. 



The uninitiated may not understand that the various kinds of ])ine himbcr manufactured in 

 different States, although called by a specific name, may, after all, be of the same species and the 

 same in all respects. ^'Florida long-leaved yellow ]>ine" or "Florida pine," is in no way difterciit 

 from that cut and nmnnfa-t^tured in Georgia under the distinctive name of "Georgia long-lea vcd 

 yellow pine," or " Georgia pine." The question as to any difference of quality dependent upon 

 locality ol'gi-owth is as yet undecided. 



The market names given to the varions pines, uncertain as to their precise application in the 

 minds of those that use them, or at least at variance with the conception of other authorities, are 

 the following: 



G^ewcraV.— Yellow pine, Southern yellow pine. Southern pine, long-leaved yellow pine, long- 

 leaved i>ine, hard pine, pitch-i)ine. 



AS;/;r(v>'r.— Virginia yellow pine, Virginia pine, North Carolina yellow pine, North Carolina 

 ])ine, Getngia yellow pine, Georgia pitch-]>ine, Georgia pine, Georgia longleaf yellow, Georgia 

 long-leaved pine, Florida yellow pine, Florida pine, Florida long-leaved pine, Texas yellow pine, 

 Texas long-leaved pine. 



The names "yellow pine," "Southern pine," seem first of all to be used as generic names, 

 without distinction as to sjiecies. In the quotations from Western markets only ^'yellow pine" 

 and "long leaved yellow pine," or "long-leaved pine"ai;4J distinguished; the first name seemingly 

 being now always used when "short- leaf" is meant, although it is also applied by advertisers from 

 the long-leaf-pine region to their product. In a market report of a leading lumber Jimrnal we find 

 that "in the yelIow-i)inc line, long-leaf, short-leaf, and curly pine can be bought,'' which would 

 show that the attempt to distinguish the two kinds by their proper names is made. Curly ])ine, 

 however, is in most cases long-leaf pine with a wavy or curly grain, a sort which is also found in 

 the short-leaf species. Loblolly seems not to be quoted in the Western markets 



Formerly, while the long-leaf pine was the only pine reaching the markets, it was commonly 

 known under the name of "yellow pine," but now the supply under this name may be made up of
