The one mostly planted is — L. decidua Mill. (43) (Europcea), from FlurofK*; a medium-sized moun- tain tree, apt to suffer in the lowlands unless compensated in t!ie soil for our drouthy atmosphere, although otherwise net selective as to soil; it will grow in the most barren, rocky sites, for which it is indeed best fitted. It is easily transplanted, but should be planted early in spring, as it buds out very Fig. 71. — Golden I^rch. Pseudolarix Kaemp/eri Gord. L. laricina Koch. {Americana) (44), the native, northeastern Amer- ican Larch or Tamarack, a medium-sized tree, is very different from the Eluropean, being a tree of the swamp; less dense and compact in growth, less graceful and symmetrical in form, with shorter foliage. It is adaptive to wet places, and is Ijest used in open groups. Unfor- tunately this species is subject to a destructive sawfly, which also attacks other larches. The other American larches, L. Lyallii Pari. (45), a small tree from timl)er-iine of the northern Rocky Mountains, and L. occidentalis Nutt (46), Western Larch, a tall tree (up to 250 feet) of the arid eastern mountain slopes from Oregon north, are hardly tested as to their ornamental value. The Japanese L. lepiolepis Murr. (47) docs not add much nevvf beauty, except in its deeper golden autumn tints. Pseudolarix. P. Kcempferi Gord. (48), Golden Larch, is a large tree.
