  Loblolly 
  Pixe 
  (Pinus 
  txda 
  Linn.). 
  

  

  Situation. 
  — 
  Loblolly 
  Pine 
  is 
  found 
  at 
  its 
  best 
  on 
  the 
  pine 
  flats. 
  It 
  

   also 
  occurs 
  on 
  the 
  ridges, 
  but 
  seldom 
  reaches 
  its 
  full 
  development 
  

   there. 
  

  

  Soil. 
  — 
  Soils 
  which 
  are 
  favorable 
  to 
  the 
  Sbortleaf 
  Pine 
  are 
  also 
  most 
  

   suitable 
  to 
  the 
  Loblolly, 
  with 
  the 
  one 
  exception 
  that 
  the 
  latter 
  requires

  a 
  little 
  more 
  moisture. 
  The 
  Loblolly 
  prefers 
  a 
  fresh 
  soil, 
  and 
  it 
  can 
  

   Boorish 
  even 
  in 
  a 
  fairly 
  moist 
  one. 
  Occasional 
  specimens 
  are 
  found 
  

   on 
  the 
  higher 
  levels 
  of 
  the 
  bottom 
  lands. 
  Any 
  prolonged 
  exposure 
  to 
  

   standing 
  water 
  is. 
  however, 
  quite 
  fatal 
  to 
  its 
  growth.

  — 
  In 
  its 
  demand 
  for 
  light, 
  the 
  Loblollv 
  

   is 
  very 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  Shortleaf 
  Pine, 
  with 
  the 
  important 
  exception
