Suitable associates are European larch, Norway spruce, white pine, 

 and red pine. 



CULTIVATION AND CARE. 



Except where there is a heavy sod growth, the Scotch pine requires 

 no cultivation after planting. -In the prairie country the younger 

 trees should be cultivated until able to compete successfully against 

 encroaching grasses. Stands should be fully protected against fire 

 and trespass. Any insect damage should be reported and specimens 

 sent to the Bureau of Entomology, Department of Agriculture, for 

 information as to the nature of the pest and methods of control. 



Approved.
