In this respect, then, the White Fine stands at a decidedadvantage as compared with many deciduous trees with which it is natuially associated. Like the shallow-rooted Spruce, the White Fine is liable to be uprooted and thrown by storms,although to a less degree. While, however, the mechanical effects of the wind and of storms of snow ami ice are notsuflBcient to require special consideration, the injurious consequences of drying winds are such as American Naturalist, Hccrmber, ISSU.
