The leaves occur in clusters of 3, or occasionally 4, and range in length from 5 to 8 inches. They persist on the branches for 3 to 4 years. The cones or burrs, when open are noticeably globular in out- line, somewhat flattened, 2 to 2V2 inches long. Like all pines, they require two seasons for ripening, but remain closed for 1 to 2 years afterward, and per- sist on the branches for several years. The bark is dark red-brown and irregularly di- vided by shallow furrows. The wood is resinous, heavy, often coarse-grained, orange-colored, with pale yellowish, wide sapwood. It is sawed and sold without discrimination along with lumber of other southern pines. In the earlier days of lumbering this pine was not much used for lumber. It is one of the few species of pine which, following cutting or killing-back by fire, sprouts from the stumps of young vigorous Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mattoon, Wilbur R.
