 PINE, NORWAY. 



PINE, RED— Pinus resinosa. 



In this State where this tree is very common and grows to great perfection, 

 the lumbermen nearly all call it Norway pine. This is an unfortunate name, 

 as it does not grow in Norway. It sometimes becomes a very tall, straight tree, 

 two feet or more in diameter. The bark is red and rather smooth, the leaves 

 are about live inches long, of a dark green color and borne in bunches at the 

 end of the branches. The color of the trunk and the long leaves make it a 

 tree of peculiar appearance. It is not very common in cultivation, probably 

 because the nurserymen cannot easily get seeds. Young trees taken from their 

 native soil are very likely to die. In my opinion it is a more beautiful tree 

 than the Scotch pine and more beautiful than many others which are often 

 used for ornamental purposes. Small specimens grow in the Arboretum. 



PINE, SCOTCH— Pmws sylvestris. 



While young, this may be compared with the Austrian pine. It is less robust or 

 more delicate in appearance. The leaves are more slender and of a lighter color. 

 It is very common in cultivation as an ornamental tree in this country. It 

 bears transplanting well, grows in any soil, the seeds are easily obtained and 

 the tree is very hardy, all of which recommend it for general cultivation. In 

 Europe it holds much the same position as a'forest tree, that white pine does 

 with us, though the tree is far inferior to white pine as a timber tree. The 

 lumber is called red or yellow deal. At the College good specimens are to be 

 found witli Austrian pines west of the Chemical Laboratory and north of the 

 greenhouse, also a ihree-pronged tree north of the big stone in the grove. The 

 trunk of this as well as that of the Austrian pine is very apt to be injured by 

 one kind of sap-sucker. Mr. Bryant in his "Forest Trees" says: "The 

 only preventive a})pears to be powder and shot.
