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.
