Timber is classed as hard or soft,
and the main point OF difference be-
tween the trees that produce these
classes Is that the soft wooded tree
has needle leaves slim. narrow and
almost uniform in breadth, while the
hard wood trees have broad leaves
OF various shapes. Again, some soft
wood trees carry cones, such trees be-
ing termed conifers. Resin. too. Is
more characteristic of soft than of
hard wood. To the class of soft woods
belong the pines, spruceS and frs, and
the most common examples of these
are yellow pine, white fir, pitch pine
and spruce or red fir. In the common
er hard woods are oak, beech. mahog-
any, ash, walnut, plane, elm, birch and
