Lohlolly Pine (Pinus taeda). 

 Loblolly pine does not grow in Pennsylvania though it has a wide range 

 extending from southern Maryland through all the southern states and ex- 

 tends as 'far west as Texas. Most of that used in Pennsylvania was re- 

 ported as coming from Virginia and North Carolina, in which states it con- 

 stitutes the largest proportion of the lumber production. It is a soft, wide 

 ringed, thick sapped, yellow pine. It has very coarse straight grain, is 

 moderately hard, strong and durable, resinous, brittle, easy to season and 

 work, and takes paint well. It closely resembles shortleaf pine and meets 

 similar uses, so that no attempt is ever made to distinguish it commercially. 

 Over 51,000,000 feet is demanded yearly by the Pennsylvania wood users 

 for a great variety of purposes, but over nine-tenths is reported by the box 

 makers and the manufacturers of sash, doors, blinds, and other planing mill 

 products.
