\begin{Description}\relax
The \code{Loblolly} data frame has 84 rows and 3 columns of records of
the growth of Loblolly pine trees.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}Loblolly\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Format}\relax
This data frame contains the following columns:
\describe{
\item[height] a numeric vector of tree heights (ft).

\item[age] a numeric vector of tree ages (yr).

\item[Seed] an ordered factor indicating the seed source for the tree.
The ordering is according to increasing maximum height.
