October 



other hand, the reproduction of white 

 fir and pin 



is good throughout the 



grove. 



Undoubtedly the original stand in 

 the grove was of sequoia ; the white 

 fir, sugar and Jeffrey pines have suc- 

 ceeded in getting a footing and are 

 slowly crowding out the sequoia and 

 will eventualiv form the stand unless 



something is done to bring about con- 

 ditions suitable for the natural re- 

 stocking of the bigtree. This could 

 be accomplished by cutting, to a large 

 extent, the fir and pine in the grove, 

 thereby opening up the stand and let- 

 ting in more light, which is essential 

 for the growth of the bigtree. The 

 large specimens of the sequoia are in 



Two Pole Bigtrees of Fine Growth in Dinkey Grove.
