European larch planted 6 feet by 6 feet were substituted on this plat 

 instead of the southern pines. The substituted mixture is well adapted 

 to the New England and Lake States. 



Plat 43 was designed to be planted with loblolly pine 4 feet apart 

 to illustrate a very practicable method suited to the abandoned farm 

 lands with moist soil of the Southern States. Owing to lack of the 

 nursery stock, this plat was planted 6 feet by 6 feet with Monterey 

 cypress, which is well adapted for windbreaks in southern California. 



Plat 44 has been planted 6 feet by 8 feet with blue gum (Eucalyptus 

 globulus), illustrating a method of planting suited to the orange- 

 growing regions of California. This species is the most rapid -growing 

 forest tree in cultivation on the Pacific coast. 



Plat 45 has been planted 4 feet by 4 feet with sugar gum (Eucalyptus 

 corynocalyx), illustrating a method of planting suited to the arid 

 portions of southern California. This gum, while not as rapid in its 

 growth as blue gum, possesses many valuable qualities. Its wood 

 promises to be of great value for the manufacture of wagons, carriages, 

 farm implements, etc. 



Plat 46 is planted 6 feet by 8 feet with red gum (Eucalyptus 

 rostrata), illustrating another method of planting suited to southern 

 California. The wood of this species is well adapted to the uses of 

 the cabinet maker, resembling mahogany in many of its qualities. 

 The three species of eucalyptus illustrated in the exhibit are practi- 

 cally all of this group that have been proved to have value for eco- 

 nomic uses in this country. The eucalypts should not be planted 

 where they will be exposed to more than 15 or 20 degrees of frost. 



Plat 47 was planted 6 feet by 8 feet with black locust and Oregon 

 maple in equal proportions. This mixture is adapted to the semiarid 

 portions of eastern Oregon and southeastern Washington. Owing to 

 failure of the Oregon maple, the sugar maple was substituted in this 

 plantation. 



Plat 48 is planted 4 feet by 4 feet with white oak, illustrating a 

 method of planting adapted to the Appalachian Mountains. This 

 species is one of our most valuable timber trees, but grows so slowly 

 that the advisability of its planting for economic purposes is limited 

 by the fact that in many cases the land can be made to produce a higher 

 income by the cultivation of some other species.
