PRACTICAL FORESTRY. 



or Bhododendrons where lime is present in the soil ? and 



these facts show us that there is something in the composi- 

 tion of certain soils only suitable for the requirements of a 

 certain class of plants. 



Another curious fact is this, that when growing on certain 

 soils the timber of one species of tree is found to be far more 

 durable than in others. 



Deep loamy soil and soft peat produce timber that is 

 usually of a second-rate description, being deficient in 

 firmness. 



By studying the geological strata of a district much useful 

 information may be learnt regarding the trees best suited 

 for planting. 



The following alphabetical table will serve to show at a 

 glance the trees that have been found best suited for plant 

 ing in the class of soil under which they are enumerated :
