Low, moist, or dry sanily soils and abandoned fields. 

 Adapted to a wide ran^e of sites. 



Jiapid grower; light-needing ; seeds persistently and plentifully. 

 A useful concomitant of Southern Ibivstn . 



Grows on hotter and moister soils than Finns fa>(la, especially on 

 hutnmocks and rich bottom lauds ; rare : usually isolated or in 

 groups. 



A rapid grower; shade-enduring. 



Dry rocky ridges and prairies, sometimes in swamps; but host 

 in deep loamy sand. 



Vigorous, rapid grower; very hardy, except \vh, n quite ymiiiu'. 



Well adapted to dry, windy: exposed places ; succeeds on West- 

 ern prairies. 



The pine for reforesting southern exposures of the Western 

 mountain regions. 



Dry, gravelly ridges, 



The White Pino for cover of high elevations in southern Kooky 

 Mountains. 



Very rapid grower. 



Quite hardy in the Kast. 



Best Pine for reforestation in its native habitat. 



Similar to Sugar Pine, which it accompanies on the Pacific slope. 



Light, well-drained soils, and on drifting saniln. 



Easily propagated: seed of very high percentage of germina- 

 tion; very rapid grower. Useful for reforesting Western 

 barrens. 



II. SPRUCES. Next in importance to the pines, though the wood is less resinous, weaker, and not so durable. 

 Of northern or mountain habitat, in cool situations and moist soils; endures shade, and grows mostly with rapidity 

 ami persistency. The Norway Spruce of Europe appears, so far, superior for forestry to the native species. 



t'liaracteristics. Leaves single, rigid, sharp-pointed, four-cornered, bristling mostly all around the twigs; cones 

 ol)lon<;, hanging, with thin, persistent scales; seeds resembling those of the pines, but usually smaller, more uniform 

 i:i color, ami angular; mature the first year, and preserve power of germination well; mostly periodical, but seeds 

 iibmndnntly; crown pyramidal: about twelve species, of which five are indigenous. Spruce wood resembles soft 

 pine, is light,' soft, stiff, moderately strong, less resinous than pine; has no distinct heartwood, and is of whitish 

 color; used like soft pine, lint also employed as resonance wood, and preferred for paper pulp. Spruces, like pines, 

 form extensive forests. They are more frugal, thrive on thinner soils, and bear more shade, but usually require a 

 more humid climate. "Black" and "white" spruce, as applied by lumbermen, usually refer to narrow and wide 

 ringed forms of the Black Spruce (Picea mariana).
