tree on a hillside pasture one can be sure it is not a Coast 

 White Cedar since this latter species grows only in swamps. In 

 like manner the geographical limits may assist in identification; a

 example, could not be the Jack Pine since this is a northern 

 form found native only in the northern New England states. 

 Although some cultivated trees have escaped from cultivation, an 

 introduced tree is generally characterized by the places in which 

 it is found growing. 



WOOD Under this heading the information given in regard to 

 the characters of the wood and the economic value of the species 

 is of practically no value for purposes of identification of standing 

 timber, but may prove of general interest to the student of trees.
