In moist places species are less sensitive to the withdrawal of light. In open spaces maples, elms, sycamo.es and others, grow, well and make good sliadc trees; in a dense forest they thin out and lmve but scanty Conifers, such as spruces and firs, which preserve the foliage of several years, have, perhaps, the greatest capacity of growing under shade and keeping their foliage in 'pile of the withdrawal of light.
