Hayes, W. D., Yellow-Pine H abitat Extension. (Rev. [U. S.] 

 For. Serv. luvest. II. p. 71—73. 1913.) 



The purpose of the experiment was to determine the possibility 

 of artificially extending the natural habitat of the yellowpine down- 

 ward into the zone naturally occupied by pinon, juniper and cha- 

 parral oaks. It was found that hardy, well-developed transplants, 

 preferably 3 years old can be planted in the pinon-juniper type of 

 forest with good chances of success. Harshberger,
