SEEDING and PLANTING 



IN THE PRACTICE 



OF FORESTRY 



By James W. Tourney, M.S., M.A., Director of the Forest School 

 and Professor of Silviculture, Yale University. 



This book presents both the details of practice, and the funda- 

 mental principles that control success and failure in the economic 

 production of nursery stock and the artificial regeneration of forests. 

 It explains the why as well as the how. 



Part I. deals with the silvical basis for seeding and planting, 

 more particularly the principles which underlie the choice of species, 

 the closeness of spacing and the composition of the stand. 



Part II. is descriptive of the various operations in artificial re- 

 generation and the results that may be expected from the best practice.
