WHITE OAK. WEEPING OAK. 



California, west of the Sierra Nevadas from the. valley of the upper Sacramento river south through the foot- 

 hills and interior valley.s to the San Bernardino mountains. 



The largest of the Pacific oaks, often 30 meters in height, with a trunk 0.90 to 2.40 meters iu diameter; very 

 common through the central part of the state. 



Wood moderately hard, finergraiued, compact; layers of annual growth marked by few large open ducts and 

 containing few smaller ducts arranged in lines parallel to the broad, conspicuous medullary rays; color, light 

 hrown, the sap-wood lighter; specific gravity, 0.7409; ash, 0.30; of little economic value, and only used for fuel.

WHITE OAK. 



Vancouver's island, shores of Puget sound, south through western Washington territory, Oregon, and California 

 to San Francisco bay ; in Washington territory and Oregon extending to the eastern slopes of the Cascade mountains. 



A tree 21 to 30 meters in height, with a trunk 0.60 to 0.90 meter in diameter, or at high elevations reduced to a 

 low shrub ; dry, gravelly soil ; common. 



Wood strong, hard, that of the young trees tough, close-grained, compact ; layers of annual growth marked by 

 one to three rows of open dncts ; medullary rays, varying greatly in width, often conspicuous ; color, light brown 

 or yellow, the sap-wood lighter, often nearly white; specific gravity, 0.7453; ash, 0.39; somewhat used for carriage 

 and cooperage stock, in cabinet-making, ship-building, and very largely for fuel ; the best substitute for eastern 

 white oak produced in the Pacific forests.
