View of a fireline at Darmstadt, Germany, taken by the Massachusetts State For- 

 ester. The soil is a deep sand and the trees are Pinus sylvestris. Our Cape 

 lands are far superior to this. 



A view of a paved street extending through the government forest in the proximity 

 of Brussels, Belgium. This large forest tract is mostly beech, and is valued 

 aesthetically as well as economically.
