Growth of Trees in the Forest Belts at the Central Experimental Farm, 



Ottawa. — Concluded 



135 



a. — Average of two trees, b.— For one tree only. c. — Average diameter for 1908. 



Note.— The low, wet, cold, sandy soil in which the Black Walnut and Butternut are growing appears 

 quite unsuitable for these trees and the growth of them is very poor. A liffht sandy soil in which some 

 of the White Spruce are is not very suitable for that tree, nor is the cold sandy loam where the American 

 Elm is growing. These tress are all mi'cing more growth in other soils.
