The pin oak is not so named borause it "'is 

 famous for pins or tree nails, but because its 

 limbs and branches have little swell or en- 

 largement at their bases, and look like pins 

 driven into the bole or into the larger limbs.

 as valley oak. Trunks may be from six to 

 ten feet in diameter. The wood is valuable

The golden oak which grows in California, 

 is not so named because of the color of its 

 wood, but on account of the yellow fuzz on the 

 under side of its leaf. The wood has little 

 value for anything", not even for fuel.
