to the commercial development of
America as the White Pine. In beau

form 1t is rivalled but not surpassed.
When the Pilgrims landed on the cold
and cherries Plymouth shore, the
pine was the only green thing to greet
them, and it became their emblem on
The historic pine tree shilling" and
other coinage. The history of the
numbering OF white pine until 1890 is
also practically the history of the lum-
Der industry in America up to that
time. The first house built in Amer
lea of which there is authentic record,
was constructed of white pine. In
1890 white pine lumber formed nearly
one-third of the yearly output of lum-
ber: ten years later more than one
fifth OF the lumber used in the United
States was still white pine. but in re-
cent years 1t has constituted less than
