BULLETIN 101, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



In general, this species was very easy to penetrate in both heart and sap 

 wood. There was no great differences between the appearance of this species 

 after treatment and that of longleaf and shortleaf pines. 



The average longitudinal penetration in the heartwood was about 20 times 

 the average radial and 80 times the average tangential penetration.

2 Complete. Since the radial penetration of lodgepole, spruce, shortleaf, longleaf, and western yellow 

 (Montana), and loblolly pine was complete in each case, the relative order of these species is not significant. 



s Treated for 15 minutes only and penetrated same distance as heartwood in an equal time. 



* Complete. 



Note. — When penetration was complete it was not more than 12 inches, as the specimens could be pene- 

 trated a total distance longitudinally of only 12 inches. Complete radial penetration varied in different 

 specimens. The minimum for complete penetration radially was 1 inch, and the maximum 1.50 inches. 

 This depended upon the direction of the annual rings in reference to the surface of the specimen.
