THE WEYMOUTH PINE. 

 PINUS STROBUS. PL 25. 



Fruftificat'on. As the former. 

 Specific char after. Leaves, five growing 

 out of each fheath. 



THIS fpecies, a native of North America, 

 where it is called the white pine, grows to 

 the greateit height of any of the tribe, 

 often arriving to that of one hundred feet. 

 It is therefore preferred to the reft for 

 inafts of fhips ; and our largeft men of 

 war are furnifhed with them from trunks 

 of this pine collected in the yards of 

 Nova Scotia. They were firft cultivated 

 in England by Lord Weymouth, whence 

 they are generally known here by his 

 G name ;
