APPLEWOOD. 



(Pyrus species). 



This wood may be of many species and is consumed in larger quantities 

 in Pennsylvania than in any other state in which reports similar to this 

 have been made. It is demanded for a few special purposes, the manufac- 

 ture of smoking pipes being the most important, while under the heading 

 of printing material, it is used for wood type. As in other states, it is used 

 for making carpenters' tools, particularly handsaw handles.

DOGWOOD. 



(Gornus florida). 



Nearly all of the dogwood going into final manufacture in Pennsylvania 

 was grown in the State. It is exceedingly hard, strong, of compact structure, 

 and tough, and these qualities together with its ability to wear smooth give 

 it preference over any other wood in the manufacture of shuttles, and com- 

 mend it for mine sprags. These two industries use 95 per cent, of the total 

 amount reported. Three other industries use the remainder.
