| | Sugar Pine |
 | | The Indian who undertook to be my guide I sent off, lest he should betray me. Wood of the pine fine, and very heavy; leaves short, in five, with a very short sheath bright green; cones, one 14-1/2 inches long, one 14, and one 13-1/2, and all containing fine seed. |
 | | A little before this the cones are gathered by the Indians, roasted on the embers, quartered, and the seeds shaken out, which are then dried before the fire and pounded into a sort of flour, and sometimes eaten round. |
 | | Sugar Pine cone, approximately actual size, from Forest Trees of the Pacific Slope, by George B. Sudworth (Dendrologist), United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, Government Printing Office, 1908. |
