The former has usually three, some- times two, long leaves; the latter, two shorter leaves. The bull pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.): The bull pine, (Fig. 10) more often called yellow pine, is one of the most striking, widely distributed, and most valuable trees of Montana. The comparatively long leaves are usually in clusters of three, though occasionally two are found. They persist usually for three years. They form great clusters at the ends of the naked branches. The cones (Fig. 10) of the bull pine are three to six inches long, and often in clusters of three to five. The tips of the bidets are elongated into awnlike characteristic spines. The bai'k is.
