50 REFORESTATION ON THE NATIONAL, FORESTS. 



brush area, typical of extensive stretches of country in the Coast 

 Range. Small grass-grown openings are common. The sowing was 

 done both in the fall and in the spring, and the seed-spot method 

 was used. The sowing in spots was rather heavy, 6 pounds of seed 

 being used per acre. On September 3, 1910, an examination of the 

 tract showed that in the greater number of the seed spots which 

 had been sown in the fall seedlings had come up very well. The 

 germination, in fact, had been good in practically all of the spots 

 then sown, but the condition of those partially shaded by brush 

 was much better than those exposed to the full heat of the sun. No 

 seedlings were found in any of the spots sown in the spring.
