Excerpt from The Commercial Forest Trees of Massachusetts, How You May Know Them This handbook has been planned and published by the State Forester in order to have a practical working description of the commercial trees at the command of Massachusetts citizens. Technical terms necessarily used in botanical and forestry books are bewildering to the practical, everyday lumberman, farmer or average person. The attempt, therefore, of this treatise is to point out clearly how one can tell the commercially valuable trees of Massachusetts in a plain and untechnical manner. The really most important points or characters the tree has, which distinguish it from all others, are first pointed out. This will be all many persons may care to know. If five needles growing in a cluster always denote a white pine, for example, and people have their attention called to it, few will ever mistake that tree for others. They can settle the matter easily by examining the tree for themselves. Likewise, other trees can be told by following the same plan of identification.
