Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, 1852, Vol. 13 The species of pine with which this barren is covered changes as we proceed towards the south and west - probably from the change of Climate and exposure. In North Carolina it bears prim Cipally the Pitch pine (pinus rigida), which yields large supplies Of turpentine. This and the timber are shipped from the port of Wilmington in that State. In Georgia, again, the prevailing tree is the Yellow pine (pinus mitis), which yields a harder and more valuable timber than the Pitch pine. The chief difference, as I was informed, is that the sap or soft heart-wood in the Yellow pine is much less in diameter than in the Pitch pine, and thus the proportion of hard resinous wood in trees of the same size is much greater in the former than in the latter.
