Plate 49. Selection of species that are adapted to the planting site is vital to 

 success. A (Upper). In this ten-year-old plantation, the arborvitae (being pointed 

 out), while surviving, has grown but a very few inches due to an unsatisfactory 

 site. B (Lower). In this shrub border planting, the first (on right, next to grain 

 field ) , third and fourth rows are a success, but the second row is a failure because 

 of the use of a species unsuited to the soil. In this instance, the misplaced plant was 

 winterberry in a well-drained soil.
