YELLOW PINE. 
Yellow-pine lumber is cut from a number of species growing east of 
the Rocky Mountains. - Three of them furnish most of the material, 
although the minor species are cut to a limited extent. There is a 
serowing tendency to purchase southern yellow pine under specifica- 
tions which designate the quality of the wood desired for the pur- 
pose, irrespective of species, to avoid the present confusion at lumber 
inspection points. The several species with their ranges follow: 
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) occurs on the coastal plains from 
extreme southeast Virginia to Texas, and in the whole Florida peninsula 
except the extreme southern part. 
Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) has its range north of that of longleaf, 
as far as New York, but likewise extending from the Atlantic coast 
to Texas and Oklahoma, and running northward to southern Mis- 
sourl, West Virginia, and New Jersey. 
Loblolly pine (Pinus teda) grows in approximately the same region 
as longleaf, as far north as New Jersey, but not in as large solid bodies 
and it is found farther north and west than longleaf pine. This and 
the two preceding species furnish the bulk of yellow-pine lumber. 
Slash pine (Pinus heterophylla), sometimes called Cuban pine, 
ranges throughout Florida, northward to South Carolina, and west-_ 
ward to Mississippi. 
Spruce pine (Pinus glabra) ranges through southern South Carolina, 
the southern portions of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, south- 
eastern Louisiana and northwestern Florida. 
Pond pine (Pinus serotina) is found along the coast and a hundred 
miles or so inland from southern Virginia to western Florida, but not 
in the southern half of the Florida peninsula. 
Sand pine (Pinus clausa) is confined almost wholly to Florida and 
southern Alabama. 
Serub pine (Ponus virginiana) occurs from northern New Jersey to 
southern Indiana and southward to central Georgia. 
Pitch pine (Pinus rigida) occurs from Georgia to New Brunswick 
and westward to Tennessee and Ohio.
