 | | This pine is remarkable in its appearance in the forests on account of the long outward and downward sweep of the branches, the first of which often arise at loo ft. above the ground. |
 | | The pine forests, which cover large tracts of sandy soil in the Lake States, are composed of varying mixtures of P. Strobus, P. resinosa, and P. Banksiana.1 On poor dry sand the two latter species outgrow and supplant the former, while on moist deep sand P. Strobus is the more vigorous. |
 | | The white pine grows naturally on all kinds of soil, and varies very much in its habit according to the soil and surroundings, but flourishes best in a deep, moist sandy loam, and in land which, being covered with a thick growth of moss, never dries in summer. |
