PLATE XIX. 



PURE FOREST OF YOUNG RED FIR. WESTERN OREGON. 



Except in parts of Washington and Oregon, the Red Fir is less often found pure than 

 in mixture with other trees. It is one of the most valuable timber trees of the world, 

 and is very widely distributed in the Western States. On the northern part of the 

 Pacific slope it is very abundant and of great size, and its wood is widely used, both at 

 home and abroad, under the misleading name of Oregon Pine.
