Western Yellow Pine (Pinus ponderosa, Dougl., and P. 
Jeffreyi, A. Murr.). 
Forrien.—California. 
The wood is useful for general building work, railway sleepers, 
it props, paving blocks, and other purposes. e tree is not 
likely to be a commercial success in the British Isles, but would 
probably do well in S. Africa. 
White Pine, Weymouth Pine (Pinus Strobus, L.). 
_ Britisn.—Canada. 
Western White Pine (Pinus monticola, Dougl.). 
Britisn.—British Columbia, Vancouver. 
The timber can be used for general building work and is of good 
quality. Substitutes are Pinus koraiensis, S. and Z., from Eastern 
Siberia, Korea, and adjoining countries, and Pinus Lambertiana, 
Dougl., from Oregon and California. 
Maritime Pine (Pinus Pinaster, Soland.). 
Forricn.—France, Portugal, Spain. 
Although the wood of this tree is not of first-rate quality large 
quantities are used in South Wales for pit props. The tree is 
rich in turpentine and resin, and is valuable for planting on sand 
dunes near the sea. It is the source of considerable revenue 10 
rance, particularly by resin and turpentine, and might be grown 
extensively in the southern maritime counties of the British Isles. 
For further particulars see A.B. 1915, p. 271. 
Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata, D. Don, or P. insignis, Dougl.). 
This tree is a native of Monterey, S. California, but it does not 
cover a large area, and the wood from that region does not affect 
the timber markets. The species, however, grows with remark- 
able rapidity in the maritime counties of the milder parts of the 
British Isles, in S: Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. On this 
account it is being extensively planted in some places with a view 
to its wood being used for minor purposes, such as box making, 
rough fencing, firewood, &c. 
Japanese Pine (Pinus Thunbergii, Parl.). 
Forrian.—Japan. . 
This is a very useful timber. It can be used for many of the 
same purposes as Baltic Redwood, and as the tree grows well in 
the British Isles it might be worth growing under forest condi- 
tions.—See K.B. 1916, p. 259.
