REDWOOD. 



Two closely related trees supply the redwood lumber on the market 

 in this country. Both are confined to California, one in the Sierra 

 Nevada Mountains and the other near the coast. The bigtree 

 (Sequoia washingtoniana) is the largest tree species in this country, 

 and that which is commonly known as redwood (Sequoia semper- 

 virens) is but little smaller. Most of the lumber is cut from the latter. 

 The whole cut is produced in California, and no tabulated statement 

 is necessary to show it. The total cut in 1913 was 510,271,000 feet. 



CHESTNUT. 



There is only one species of chestnut (Castanea dentata) native in 



the United States. Its northern range extends from southern Maine 



to southern Michigan, thence to southern Indiana, central Kentucky, 



Tennessee, and Alabama. It grows southward in the Atlantic States 



to Georgia.
