Suggestions for tree planting. The general plan sluiiild insure 

 having the most valuable trees for each location as the [n-i- 

 manent stand. It will thus be necessary to studv con(htions 

 under which the ditfereiit s[)ecies will gii.w to Ijcst advantage. 

 Some species bear shade or sun better than others when they 

 are young. Analyze and study how and where young trees 

 are thriving best. Especially note which species grow best on 

 the driest hillsides and along the banks of brooks and streams. 

 It is often necessary, and profitable as well, to plant (piick- 

 growing, sun-endurhig species as ''nurse trees" b>r a inoiv 

 valuable permanent stand. 



The following table suggests possibilities in handling the 

 different species of Eastern conifers and hard woods with refer-
