Norway Pine or Red Pine (Pinus resinosa). 

 Pennsylvania is the southern limit of the range of Norway or red pine. It 

 occurs in the State infrequently on higher elevations, scattered with hard- 

 woods. The reddish color of the bark is the easiest means of identification. 

 It is most commonly cut into lumber in the New England states and in the 

 Lake states near the Canadian border. All that has been said of white pine 

 generally applies to Norway pine. The two trees grow mixed together and are 

 marketed in most cases indiscriminately as white pine, the other constituting 

 only a relatively small per cent, of the consignment. It differs from white pine 

 in that it is slightly heavier, harder, and more resinous. Where color is a con- 

 sideration, red pine is separately specified and this accounts for the dis- 

 tinction that the manufacturers make who reported it separately for this 

 investigation. When sold alone as Norway pine it grades lower than white 

 pine. None of that used in Pennsylvania was reported as growing within 

 the State. It has fine, straight grain, medium sapwood, is moderately hard, 

 fairly dense, of medium weight, moderately strong, stiff, non-elastic, fairly 

 brittle, readily split and easily seasoned, easy to work and keeps its shape.
