White Pine. 



Measurements for a row of trees along road spaced about 10 feet; age, fifty-six years. (See illus- 

 tration.) 



Average height, 60 feet. 



Because these trees are planted in a straight row, 10 feet 

 apart, the spread of the branches, laterally, is nearly 50 feet. 

 It would therefore require only about 80 trees of this size to 

 cover an acre of ground. In terms of the above measurements 

 they would yield a little over 40,000 board feet. 



Bridgewater, Mass. Owner, C. M. Cook. 

 History. So far as could be ascertained from residents in 

 the vicinity of this small plantation it was made about fifty 

 years ago, trees dug up from the surrounding pastures being 

 used. Stumps within and on the border of the lot show be- 

 tween 45 and 50 rings. Other information than these observa- 

 tions and the measurements given is lacking.
