PRODUCTION OF LUMBEE ; LATH, AND SHINGLES. 
19 
White pine (Pinus strohus) is the familiar white pine of the Lake 
States, the Northeast, and the Appalachian region. 
Norway (or red) pine {Pinus resinosa) is lumbered in the Lake 
States and farther east. Botanically it is a yellow pine. The better 
grades are often sold with white pine, but the wood also has a 
market under its own name. 
Jack pine {Pinus hanksiana) is a small tree of the Lake States, 
and is used to a limited extent. 
Western white pine {Pinus monticola), sometimes called silver 
pine, supplies the white-pine lumber cut in Idaho, Montana, Wash- 
ington, and to a limited extent in Oregon.

HEMLOCK. 
Hemlock {Tsuga canadensis), the eastern hemlock, is lumbered in 
the Lake States, the Northeastern States, and the Appalachian re- 
gion. Western hemlock '{Tsuga heterophyUa) is the main source of 
hemlock lumber in the Northwestern States, and its production is 
increasing. Although the mill value is lower, it is superior to the 
eastern hemlock, and is often sold with Douglas fir. The western 
mountain or blaok hemlock {Tsuga mertensiana) and the Carolina 
hemlock (Tsuga caroliniana) of the Appalachian region are only 
occasionally lumbered.
