5. Pin us Tseda. Virginian Swamp, or Frank - 
incence Fine. 
This grows to a pretty large fize, the leaves are ve- 
ry long and narrow and are produced by threes in a 
fheath. The cones are pretty long and large. This 
is ufeful for boards, and for producing turpentine 
and tar, as are the other kinds. 
6. Pin us virgimana. Two-leaved Virginian , 
or Jerfey Pine . 
This is generally of but low growth, but divided 
into many branches. The leaves are broader and 
fhorter than the other kinds, and of a deeper green 
colour ; they are produced by twos in each fheath. 
The cones are fmall, each fcale terminating with a 
prickly point. This is called, in fome places, Spruce 
Pine. 
PINUS-ABIES. 
The FIR-TREE. 
i. Pinus-Abies Balfamea. Balm of Gilead 
Fir-Tree . 
This tree grows to the height of thirty or forty feet, 
fending off many branches, which are thick fet chiefly 
upon two Tides, with ffiff linear leaves, refembling 
thofe of the Yew. The furface of the trunk is al- 
mo ft covered with fmall bladders, or rifings in the 
cuticle of the bark, which are filled with a clear bal- 
fam or turpentine. The cones are pretty large, and 
fall to pieces in the autumn.
