BULLETIN 232, U. S. DEPARTMENT OP AGRICULTURE. 



Table Mountain pine (Pinus pungens) grows among the Appalachian 

 ranges from northeastern Pennsylvania to northern Georgia. 



Longleaf pine is milled mostly in the Gulf States, including Georgia 

 and Florida. The yellow pine produced by mills in Arkansas and 

 the lumber known commercially as North Carolina pine and coming 

 from Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina include both lob- 

 lolly pine and shortleaf pine. Slash pine (Pinus heterophylla) , a wood 

 of many excellent qualities, is cut to some extent in Florida and other 

 southeastern States and is usually sold along with longleaf pine. 



There are a number of yellow pines in the West which are not in the 

 same commercial group as those of the East and South. One of 

 them, called western yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa) is specially 

 reported in Table 1 1 ; the others are at present of little importance in 

 the lumber output. 



Table 6 shows the production of yellow pine by States in the year 

 1913 and also the number of active mills in each State.

DOUGLAS FIR. 



Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga taxifolia) yields more lumber annually 

 than any other single species of the United States. The best stands 

 of timber are found in the northwestern coast States but Douglas 

 fir is also cut to some extent in the Rocky Mountain region.
