"Camden : Berlin, rare. Gloucester : Woodbury, Swedes-

America." 



swamp. It has been much cut, but a number of large trees 

 remain. They overtop the cedars and other trees of the 

 swamp and have grown with remarkable rapidity. Stumps 

 twenty-five inches in diameter average about fifty annual 

 rings." (Geol. Kpt., '94, GirTord, 252.) 



"It is not necessarv to state the uses of Pinus st robus, nor 

 should it be necessary to state that it ought to be cultivated 

 extensively. It is a rapid grower, thrives well on the poorer 

 soil of South Jersey, yields early returns and is very valuable 

 when mature — what more is wanted? The planting of the 

 White Pine is done in the same manner as the Yellow T 

 Pine." (Hort, Kpt, '03, Meier, 215.)
