CYPRESS. 

 (Taxodium distichum) 

 In Pennsylvania cypress next to yellow pine is the most widely used of any 

 lumber coming from the southern states. It is typically a swamp tree of 

 the southeastern coast and gulf region and up the Mississippi Basin as far 

 as Missouri, The wood is light, soft, straight-grained, and of fine texture. 

 Though more difficult than some woods to season properly, it holds its shape 

 when thoroughly dried and is one of the most durable woods for which the 

 manufacturers call. These qualities make it desirable for many purposes. 

 The planing mills use the largest quantities, not only for porch, cornice, and 

 other exterior work, but also for doors, sash, panels, moulding and other 

 interior finish. The other seventeen industries in the State demanding this 

 wood and the quantities used are listed in the following table:
