254 PRACTICAL FORESTRY 
Miller). Height, 100 feet +; diameter, 24 feet +. 
South Atlantic and Gulf States. Well-drained, loose, 
deep, sandy loam or gravel. The slow growth of first 
five years makes its silvicultural value problematic; 
development dependent on atmospheric moisture; 
least shade-enduring of pines. Rare but plentiful 
seeder; germinates freely; can therefore be prop-— 
agated by sowing seed in permanent place. Most 
valuable pine of the South, but for best quality of 
timber requires long period of growth. 
4. SHort-LeEAF Prine (Bull-Pine; Yellow Pine; 
Spruce-Pine) (Pinus echinata Miller). Height, 90 
feet +; diameter, 2 feet +. Middle Atlantic and 
Southern States. Best development in western Lou- 
islana, southern Arkansas, and eastern Texas. Com- 
mon on light, sandy soil. Will succeed on the poorest 
soil. Easily reproduced; good seeder; light-needing. 
5. Cupan Pryne (Slash-Pine; Swamp-Pine; Bas- 
tard-Pine) (Pinus heterophylla Ell. Sudw.). Height, 
90 feet +; diameter, 2 feet +. Southern and south- 
eastern coast; local in swamps and near watercourses. 
Best development in eastern Florida. Light, sandy 
soil; somewhat indifferent to drainage. Rapid grow- 
er; easily reproduced; matures seed yearly; compet- 
ing with the long-leaf pine on wet sags; light needing. 
6. Orp-Fretp Prine (Loblolly Pine) (Pinus taeda 
Linn.). Height, 100 feet +; diameter, 24 feet +.
