designed to let stand so as to have a standard of comparison be- 

 tween transplanted trees and those not transplanted. 



White Walnut or Butternut {Juglaus cinera}. Much the 

 same habit of growth as the black walnut and like it the growth 

 receives a severe set back by transplanting the tree ; the growth 

 the past three summers was practically the same as for the black 

 walnut. , 



English Walnut {Juglaus regia}. New growth is killed 

 back during the winter some trees freeze to the ground ; the growth 

 made the present summer averages about i ft. 6 in. The tree 

 stands the winters well and bears crops of nuts; however, not more 

 than 100 miles south of Logan. 



Pecan Nut (Carya olivaeformis). Owing to their location 

 and the difficulty of transplanting them the trees ail died but one 

 the first year. 



Filbert, ( Corylus Avellana*). A few plants of this bush 

 were planted; they appear to be suited to this climate but 110 nuts 

 have yet been produced. 



Catalpa speciosa, a soft wood tree with large leaves and 

 coarse branches. The new growth has winter-killed quite badly the 

 past two winters. Maximum growth the first year i ft. 10 in., 

 average 1 1 in. ; maximum growth the second year 2 ft. 6 in., 

 avygjifage 2 ft. The tree is valuable for lawn planting in places 

 where it will prove tardy, it i s also a valuable post timber. 



European Ash {Fraxinus excelsior}. This tree has made a 

 good growth, but the strong winds to which it has been exposed 

 have turned the branches nearly all to the West, making rather an 

 ugly tree out of what otherwise would have been a fine tree. The 

 first year the growth was small, the maximum being only 6 in. and 

 the average 4 in.; the second year the maximum growth was 2 ft. 



7 in. And the average 2 ft. 2 in. 



Blue Ash, (^Fraxinus vjrjdjs}. Has made a very poor 

 growth, the past three seasons it has not made an average growth 

 of more than 2 in. ; apparently it is perfectly hardy. 



Mountain Ash. This tree seems to be doing well; the growth 

 is strong and healthy, but slow, and the tree is shapely, the strong 

 winds having little or no effect on it. The maximum growth the
