Caption: "Pine Trees Yielding Turpentine, Rosin [sic], Etc. Florida, July 13, 1934." A group of pine trees with bark removed in a "V"-shaped, or "catface" pattern to encourage production of resin, from which turpentine is made. Small buckets hang at the end of each "V" to catch the resin. This turpentine farm may actually be in Georgia, rather than Florida.
