Slow grower as is the white oak, it is said to reach, in twenty four years, a height of twenty five feet, with a diameter of two feet at twelve inches from the ground. Thus, in these few years it be- comes of great value for building, and is worth sowing, even by those who look to reap a profit in their own life- time. The ship-builder, the ploagh-maker, the cooper, all value highly the timber of the oak, a)\d it furnishes excellent firewood. The inner bark of the quercitron sup- plies the dyer with a yellow-dye— hence its trivial name—Z)/y<?r\^ oak.
