List of the most Valuable Timber Trees in the United States, and their Suitable Climate.—Coniferous Trees.—Number of Seeds to the Pound of Each Species.

The following is a list of the most valuable timber trees in the United States, viz.:

Of this list, Nos. 5, 6,13,19, and 20 are best suited to the climate of the southern half of the territory for which this work is designed. Nos. 7 and 9 would probably not succeed in the most northern half of the United States, while Nos. 4,12,16,17, and 18 would be of doubtful value near the southern limit. I am indebted to Mr. Bryant's extremely useful work on trees for the foregoing list, which I think will be invaluable to tree-growers, and I would also like to thank Mr. Douglass for the following list, or rather table, of the number of seeds in a pound of each of the following twenty species of coniferous trees:
