regions from which, the others are excluded. Growing in a dry climate and 
often richly colored, it seems to meet the requirements of a vast field. While 
the air of the plains has but about 50 degrees of moisture to 90 degrees in the 
eastern states, it is necessary to have something which will endure the bright 
sun and drying winds of winter. We have not the experience with this tree 
we have with the Rocky Mountain Conifers, yet having a few thousand grow¬ 
ing, we have great faith in them for the west, and see no reason why they 
should not do well in the east also.
