SUGAR PINE. 
Sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana), the largest pie in the United 
States, grows in California and Oregon, chiefly in the former State. 
The wood closely resembles white pine, and the uses of the two are 
similar. Botanically it is a white or soft pine.

TUPELO. 
Four species contribute to the output of tupelo lumber, but the 
bulk of the product is cut from cotton gum (Nyssa aquatica). Itisa 
tree which flourishes best in deep swamps in the coast region of the 
Southern States or along the lowlands of large rivers from southern 
Virginia to Texas. 
Water gum (Nyssa biflora), ranging from Maryland to Florida and 
west to Alabama, and sour tupelo or wild limetree (Vyssa ogeche), 
found in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, are cut for lumber to 
a small extent. : , 
Black gum or pepperidge (Nyssa sylvatica) ranges throughout the 
South and northward to Maine and Michigan, and is cut in North 
Carolina, Virginia, and other States north of the Ohio and Potomac 
Rivers.
