260 PRACTICAL FORESTRY 
wet swamps; but probably of more value when grown 
on deep, moist, well-drained soils, in cool situations. 
Rapid and persistent grower; light-needing. De- 
serves attention in Northern forestry, but only in 
mixed growths. 
19. Western Larcu (Tamarack) (Laria occiden- 
falis Nutt.). Height, 100 feet +; diameter, 4 feet +. 
Northwestern; elevations between 2,500 and 5,000 
feet. Best development in Valley of Flathead River, 
Montana. An important tree as a Western repre- 
sentative of the foregoing species, occupying dry 
slopes in dry climate. 
20. Rep Juniper (Savin) (Juniperus virginiana 
Linn.). Height, 50 feet +; diameter, 14 feet +-. 
Eastern United States. Best development in valley 
of Red River, Texas. Prefers a mild climate; deep 
swamps, borders of streams, ridges, hills; will thrive 
on a rather dry, loose soil. Perhaps the most impor- 
tant conifer for Southwestern prairie-planting, en- 
during drought and partial shade. Tolerably rapid 
orower. 
21. Wmtrt Crpar (Chamecyparis  thyoides 
Linn.; B. 8. P.). Height, 70 feet +-; diameter, 13 
feet +. Atlantic and Gulf States to central Missis- 
sippi. Most abundant and best developed in Virginia 
and North Carolina. Always in low, marshy, or wet 
ground, where it thrives well and grows rapidly.
