THE CORK TREE
Cork is the bark of the Cork Oak. It is an
essential peacetime commodity and a critical
war material. It is a native of the Mediter-
ranean area.
Cork oaks can be grown in
Maryland. Acorns and seedlings are free to
land owners through the McManus nationwide
cork growing program. Many thousands are
now being planted. Write your State Forester.
