In Massachusetts it occurs in patches of con- siderable area in the southeastern sections and to a limited extent in other parts. As to habit, its slender, horizontal branches form a narrow, conical head of neat appearance.

From Sargent's " Manual of the Trees of North America," by permission of Houghton, Mifflin & Co. On the trunk the bark is reddish-brown and flakes off in thin scales. On old trees, particularly near the base, it is irregularly furrowed. The leaves are scale-like, not over an eighth of an inch in length and dull blue-green in color. The cones are roundish, about a half-inch in diam- eter and red-brown at maturity. The seed is small and winged. The wood is light, soft, weak, very durable and aromatic. It is used for boat-building, interior finish- ing and for posts. For this last purpose it is particu- larly desirable. 15 â ;â 'â â >â 'â ' -' 3H ' OH mm v- I.
