FOREST PLANTING 



151 



Where plantings have been made on brush land it may be nec- 

 essary to cut the brush when it overtops the trees. This would 

 also apply to heavy weed growth. If the land was plowed previous 

 to planting, it may be well to cultivate for a year or two, possibly 

 with some crop between the trees, particularly if the land was 

 weedy or in heavy sod. However, on the abandoned fields in the 

 hilly sections of the State, plowing the ground in preparation for 

 planting is rarely recommended, especially for the larger planta- 

 tions. It entails too much expense for the results obtained. 



PLANTING CHART GIVING THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS 

 RELATIVE TO FOREST PLANTING 



In the 7th column "S" refers to spring and "A" to autumn. 



* Easily grown from 12 to 18-inch cuttings. 



fThe figures in the column headed "transplants" refer to the number of years the trees 

 have stood in seed beds or rows and in transplant rows. Thus "1 1" would mean that a 

 1-year-old seedling has been in transplant row for one season, thus making it 2 years old 

 from seed; "2 1" a two-year-old seedling in transplant row one year, or a total of 3 years 

 of age.
