Maine is said to produce the finest
Christmas trees. The odor of the bal
sam in the forests of that state and
the superior lasting qualities of the
foliage make the trees comparatively
very valuable. In that part of the
country the raising of these trees
is an important industry, forests of
them being subjected to n partial
cultivation. Enough clearing is done
to allow each tree to grow fully and
symmetrically, and in five years they
reach marketable size.
