"The several species of pine yielding edible nuts are found on 

 the Pacific Slope of the United States and in Colorado, New 

 Mexico, Arizona and Mexico. The nuts are but little known to 

 a majority of the people of the United States, though they are 

 marketed in large quantities in some of the cities of California.
