Taking up trees for five plots, 22^ hours S3 38 



Plots No. 1 and 2 will require little or no work in future as the trees, especially in 

 plot No. 1 entirely shade the grounds. 



Plots No. 3 and 4 will require two years further growth and care to place them in 

 the same position. Plot No. 5 although planted only 2| feet apart each way, being 

 ash which is of slower growth, is very far behind the box elder in the matter of shade. 



Next spring it is proposed to continue this work and mix the plautaLious with 

 ground shading varieties of trees such as sand cherry.
