On wet soils pines are, as a rule, eiil ut place, although the Ked Pine {P. re.'iiiiosti}, of the north, and the Loblolly {P. Tisda), and some other southern species are capable of supporting such conditions. For such situations here, however, the cedar tribe furnishes better material,—the Chamsecyparis, Thuyas and Taxodium. These trees of the bog and swamp are, however—it should not be over- looked—capable of thriving even better on drier soils. They are merely indifferent to moisture conditions at the foot. The shallow-rooted spruces are trees of the higher mountain ranges, and are, therefore, more adapted to 532.

The firs, too, are rather more species of northern climates and high altitudes, the Red Fir, so-called {Pseudotsuga tuxifolia), which is not a flr proper, be- ing, perhaps, best capable of supporting drier and hot- ter situations. The most ornamental, and, in many re- spects, most serviceable of the firs, Abies yordmanni- ana, from the Caucasus, develops its magnificent dense and dark green foliage in the warm but moist climate of Washin
