SCOTCH PINE (Pinus sylvestris Linn.). 
Scotch pine will grow in all sections of the eastern United States, 
and is well adapted for sandy soils too poor for agriculture or even 
for the growth of white pine. The tree seems to do equally well on 
the poor, sandy, Norway pine lands of Michigan and on old worn- 
out lands of New England. For the first 15 or 20 years Scotch pine 
makes very rapid height growth, often from 20 to 30 inches a year. 
Because of its hardiness and freedom from disease, it is to be 
regretted that the Scotch pine already planted consists largely of a 
variety from central Germany, the trees of which, when about 20 
years old, become crooked, irregular, ragged, and of very poor tim- 
ber form, yielding only one or two logs per tree. In Europe, on the 
other hand, trees grown from seed collected in the Scotch pine 
forests of the Baltic provinces of Russia, ordinarily called the Riga 
variety, have straight, cylindrical, well-developed trunks, and yield 
wood of a higher quality than the Scotch pine of central Germany. 
Unless, therefore, the Riga variety can be secured, the planting of 
Scotch pine is not recommended.
