THE PRODUCTION OF LUMBER IN 1913. 



13 



There are other western pines belonging in the white class, the best 

 known of which is sugar pine, which is separately listed in Table 27, 

 and is discussed on a later page of this report.

HEMLOCK. 



Practically all of the hemlock that reaches market in the United 

 States comes from one eastern and one western species. The former 

 is known simply, as hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). It is a northern 

 tree, plentiful from Maine to Minnesota, and following the mountain 

 ranges southward to the Carolinas and Tennessee. The other species 

 is known as western hemlock (Tsuga Jieterophylla) and is found from 

 Montana to the Pacific coast and southward to California. A scarcer 

 western species is the Mountain hemlock ( Tsuga mertensiana) , some- 

 times called black hemlock. It occurs among the northern Rocky 

 Mountains and westward to the Pacific. The Carolina hemlock 

 ( Tsuga caroliniana) is likewise a mountain tree and grows in Virginia, 

 North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The eastern and 

 the western mountain hemlocks are not extensively lumbered. A 

 reference to the States in Table 10 will reveal the output from the 



other two.
