WESTERN PINE. 



Western pine is the western yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa) which 

 covers a range of a million square miles from the Rocky Mountains 

 westward to the coast, and northward into Canada and southward 

 into Mexico. It is frequently called California white pine, New 

 Mexico white pine, and western soft pine. It is sufficiently soft and 

 light to make it a strong competitor of white pine for many purposes.

CYPRESS. 



Bald cypress (Taxodium distich,um) is the source of the cypress 

 lumber sawed in the United States. It is a southern tree, ranging 

 from Delaware to Texas near the coast, and along the valleys of 

 rivers many miles inland. It follows the Mississippi and the Ohio 

 into Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
