WHITE PINE. 



Lumbermen group several pines as white pine in the yards, and one 

 or more of them are reported from 28 States. Two are not the white 

 pines of the botanists, but the lumber frequently passes as such. 



White pine (Pinus strobus) is the most used and the best known 

 of the white pines. It is the familiar pine of this name of the Lake 

 States, New York, New England, the eastern Canadian Provinces, 

 and of the Appalachian region from Pennsylvania to Georgia. Users 

 often call it soft pine. 



Norway pine (Pinus resinosa), sometimes called red pine, is lum- 

 bered principally in the Lake States, but also farther east. Its range 

 is nearly coextensive with white pine, but it does not follow the moun- 

 tains much south of New York. Botanically it is closely related to 

 the yellow pines. Certain grades are frequently marked as white pine 

 but the wood has a large market under its own name. 



Jack pine (Pinus divaricata) is small and of no great importance 

 as lumber, yet it helps to swell the statistics of white pine. It is 

 found from New Brunswick to northern Indiana and Minnesota, and 

 northward almost to the Arctic Circle. It has many local names, 

 among them scrub pine, black pine, and in some parts of Canada has 

 been known as cypress for 200 years. 



Western white pine (Pinus monticola) is the principal western wood 

 included in the out put of white-pine lumber. It occurs from Mont aim 

 and Idaho to British Columbia and California, but the largest output 

 is at present credited to Idaho. It is occasionally called silver pine.
