more continuously sunny, this pine has a tendency to short life and 

 commences to die out after the tenth year, especially where the soil is 

 also dry. In these respects it resembles the Monterey cypress and the 

 blue gum or Eucalyptus globulus. All of these trees support the con- 

 ditions of our interior valleys very well when water is near the sur- 

 face, or when irrigation supplies them with moisture.
