PINES (Pinus). The planting of forest trees in California is, and has been, sadly neglected, and in a 
few years hence, when our forests become depleted, we will, as a country, regret that we were so short- 
sighted Let us go to work now and plant our bare and barren hillsides with pines and kindred 
trees which will in a few years grow up and afford timber for building and domestic purposes. 
They will beautify parts which are now an eyesore, draw moisture, and generally improve the 
hygiene of the country.
