The history of Scots Pine in our country does not do justice to its worth. Where seed of known parentage has been used, Scots pine has grown very rapidly into straight and healthy trees no more susceptible to disease or insect damage than indigenous pine species. W e are convinced that its advantages in American forests are as pro¬ nounced as they are in European forestry.
