ScKfii Pink. IMnus contorta. Loudon, This is a low tree somewhat stunted and often irregularly sha|)e(l or a])parenlly twisted. It resembles the preceding species in many ways, particularly in the size, shape and location of its cones, its production of seed when very small — sometimes only a few inches high — and the long vitality of the seed itself. It differs in ha\ing a much thicker bark, especially near the base of the trunk, and strong, hard, coarse-grained and resinous wood, as well as in its stunted growth. The resemblance, however, is sufficiently strong to induce some authors to con- sider them as merely different varieties of the same species. Its range is along the Pacific coast extending inland to the western slopes of the Coast Range. Growing as it does where some of the largest and most valuable timber trees of the con- tinent are very abundant, this tree cannot be said to have any economic value. lo. Scotch Pine. Pinussilvcstris. Linna'us. This is the common European pine trans- planted to this continent. It closely resembles our red pine, except that the leaves arc shorter and more rigid and the branches ha\e little or no tendency to droop. It is widely grown for ornamental pur- poses in the eastern part of the conti- nent, and also grows well on the prairie. It stands heat, cold and drought without apparent injury, can be reproduced.
