tempted. Reasonable success has followed the planting of 

 both Catalpa and Robina psuedo Acacia in the northern half 

 of the State. In the south they exigently demand soil of 

 greater depth and fertility than we are willing to classify as 

 forest lands. The same holds true of most of the nut-bearers, 

 the Caryas and allies, although sporadic and unprofitable 

 attempts have been made with the English, the Black Walnut, 

 and the Pistachio. 



Some plantations of Pinus pinaster give promise of doing 

 well, remote from the seaboard, and, to a limited extent, P. 

 Austriaca, P. strobus, P. cembra, and P. Laricio have been 

 planted. 



Results, as far as obtained, indicate unsatisfactory growth, 

 although the limited period of observation makes it premature 

 to formulate any conclusions. 



Isolated cases exist of above fifty additional exotic species 

 that have been planted for forest uses. 



The data is sufficient to furnish material that is not largely 

 hypothetical. 



If such be desired, a synoptical list can be supplied.
