Forests and forestry. The Pines. 331 tected from these destructive influences, unnecessarily caused by ;' 1345. Elliott's Pine (Pinus Elliottii). This is a southern-coast pine, growing in light damp sandy soils, along marshes, and near the mouths of rivers, never far inland, and showing a tendency to form a second growth where other timber has been cut away. It generally bears fruit every year, while the long-leaved and other pines in that region generally are fertile on alternate years. It blossoms early, and has a dense heavy head, dark foliage, and larger and heavier branches than most other southern pines. The leaves are generally in threes. The timber is heavy, very tough, and more resinous than that of the long-leaved pine. It grows rapidly while young, and from the facility with which it may be propagated, it may become an important tree in forest-culture in the future. 1346. This has formerly been considered a variety of the Old-field Pine (P. taeda), but it appears to present distinct specific characters, that have led Dr. Engelmann to recently describe it as a separate species. 1347. Scotch Pine (Pi- nus sylvestris). This foreign species is here mentioned, because it has been intro- duced for cultivation, and has been found exceedingly well adapted to certain light sandy soils, where it grows with great luxuriance. It is the principal pine of Cen- tral and Northern Europe, and is spread overall North-. 160. Pinus sylveslrix: Scotch Piuo—Loaves and Blossoms. ^Di: Charles Mohr.
