specimens of the Jack , Scrub, or Banksianan
Pine (Pinus banksiana). Across Winter
Harvaro this pine is very abundant, while
it usurps the entire top of Schoodic Mt.
I did not success in finding either the
Rock Maple or the Hemlock. In a
portion of the woods the granite foundation
has a good covering of rich soil, but at
best it mus be not an easy task for
the trees to obtain a living. The trees
are all under their average size. On my
sistner's grounds is a very handsome White
Spruce about 25 ft. high, and beautifully
symmetrical. That tree never grew in a
forest. I append a list of the trees
seen with slight annotations: -
Prunus pennsylvannica, L.f. Wild Red Cherry.
Found here & there over the Neck.
Pyrus americana DC. Amer. {American} Mountain Ash
Abundant everywhere.
Acer pennsylvanicum, L. Striped or Moose Maple.

Acer spicatum, Lam. Mountain Maple.
I met a few specimens.
Acer rubrum. Red or Swamp Maple.
Abundant throughout.
Betula lutea Mx. f. Yellow Birch.
