3 Vt. Norway Spruce growing under forest conditions in a 

 sandy soil on a hill with northern exposure. 



4 Vt. growing on a hill with a northern exposure in sandy soil, 

 trees in grove planted eight feet apart. 



All of the above reacted to the drought of 1908, which year 

 showed a precipitation 4.70 inches less than the mean rainfall. 



The specimens obtained from New Hampshire were cut in May, 

 1909, and came from a farm which was abandoned in February, 

 1889. In the summer of 1888 the pasture was planted with buck- 

 wheat but has not been cultivated since and the trees came from 

 self-sown seed. 



The land is located fifty-six feet above the Sugar River and 

 slopes abruptly towards it. There are two flowing springs on the 

 land which form rills combining to make a fair sized brook which 

 empties into the Sugar River. The sections were taken from 

 trees growing from ten to four thousand feet from the springs and 

 all were situated on higher land than the springs, which were 

 located 1 768.3 feet from the river, so that all the trees were 

 located on very high ground and none were very close to the river.
