60. Georgia Pine. The southern yellow pine, or Georgia 
pine, is a very different tree from its northern cousin, the 
white pine, furnishing us with a resinous yellow wood, 
much harder than white pine, and a beautiful and valu- 
able material for the interiors of buildings. It is also 
very durable and is frequently used for exposed places, 
such as the decks of ships. 
The needles are very long, measuring a foot and some- 
times fifteen inches in length. 
The seed cones are from six to 
ten inches long, and the scales have 
little prickles on their ends. The 
tree grows throughout the south- 
ern states from Virginia to Texas, 
and the cutting of its timber is a 
valuable industry of the South. 
61. Yellow Pine. The common 
yellow pine must not be confounded 
with the long-leaved Georgia pine. The former has 
needles growing three in a bunch, and the latter short 
needles three or four inches long, growing two and some- 
times three ina group. The cone of the common yellow 
pine is also very much smaller, being only two inches 
long. 
Its wood is very valuable and is used for flooring, 
ceiling, and interior finishing.
