Regions of abundant growth. 



Southwestern, but widely culti- 

 vated in Southern States. 



Best development in Arkausas and 

 Indian Territory. 



Eastern United States ; wide 

 range. 



Southeastern States 



Greatest development in basin of 

 Mississippi lliver. 



Soil and elimatc, and characteristics of .urmvth. 



Southern Allegheny region 



Allegheny Mountains : local; but 

 by cultiVation widely distributed 



rasl of Koeky Mountains. 



Central States 



Best development in bottom land 

 of lower Oh io Ki ver basi n. W idc- 

 l.v cultivated for hedges ami or 

 nament. 



Northern au<l mainly east of the 

 Kod,\ Mountains. 



Best development in basin of Ohio 

 River. 



East, of longitude 98 



Brst development in basins of 

 lower Ohio ami Mississippi 

 rivers. 



Southern and Gulf States 



Best development alonj; Missis- 

 sippi in Gulf region. 



Mainly Middle Atlantic region. 

 . Best development in the 



southern Allegheny Mountain 



region. 



Eastern States 



Greatest development in valley of 

 lower Wabash River, and' on 

 western slope of Allegheny 

 Mountains in Tennessee, North 

 Carolina, and the Virginias. 



Deep, rich bottom land, but sneceeds fairly on upland soils of 

 moderate rieliness. 



Kapid grower: for Soiitlnvestern planting. 



More valuable perhaps for production <>1 t'niit than for timber 

 purposes. 



Adapted to almost any soil and situation; best in deep, well- 

 drained soil : will sueeeed also on dry soil. Very rapid grower, 

 very sipon reariihii: a useful si/i- lor cabinet wood. Endures 

 considerable shade when young. 



The wide range of site* to which it is adapted, its rapid growth 

 and endurance of shade place it among the most valuable 

 forest trees of the United States, especially lor Western 

 planting. Not infected by caterpillars in forest plantations. 



Succeeds on a great variety of soils: a tree of the swamp as 

 well as of dry -soils; best on light, dry, sandy, and soils re- 

 tentive of moisture, llapid grower. 



Insect proof and generally healthy. 



Poor, loose sands uive best quality of timber ; not succeeding 

 well in compact soils, b it will thrive on a thin one, and uro\\ s 

 quickest on a rich, sandy loam. 



Very */</</ urn\\ ( -r \\bilr young; needs light very much; 

 sprouts pervittcntly &utl viyoroutlil from t lie roots. To be on I \ 

 sparingly dispersed among shady companions, which will 

 atl'ord protection against the attacks of borers. 



Easily propagated from seed, also by cuttings, suckers, and 

 stakes. For short rotations and coppice management. 



Low, rich bottom land; rarely on high, dry, sterile hills; but 

 often common on rich uplands, wheie it grows rapidly. 



Very rapid grower; needs light. 



^ro\\ n IVom seed, but not from cuttings. Less liable to 

 insect ravages; otherwise to hi- treated like Black Locust, 

 which it is recommended to replace in Southern localities. 



Will grow tolerably well on the moat barren and poorest soils, 

 but best in a fertile one, cool and moist, where it is of rapid 

 growth. 



Tn Western planting recommended only as an adjunct. 



Deep, rich loam, but grows well on poorer dry soil; endures 

 shade. 



For Southwestern planting. 



Cool, moist hummocks, with rich, deep, loose soil. 



Not hardy in Northern States; for strictly Southern climate. 



Iii cool, moist, deep, rich soils of mountain slopes, valleys, and 

 "coves." Succeeds also in fresh Handy or gravelly soils of 



moderate richness. 



Deep, light, loamy, sandy, or clayey soils, in cool, moist situa- 

 tions. 



Tolerably rapid and persistent grower. Needs light very much ; 

 hardy. 



Poor seeder, and low percentage of germination : seed to "lie 

 over." Sprouts fairly from stump. One of the largest and 

 most valuable of the deciduous soft woods.
