PLATE XII 



Fig. I. — Seedlings on Stump Patches Are Very Large and Vigorous, 

 Provided Herbaceous Vegetation Is Kept Down. 



The seedling shown in this photograph is 3 years old and measures 5.5 inches to the terminal bud. 



Fig. 2. — Three-Year-Old Yellow Pine Seedlings; Those Classed as 

 Very Large Occur Almost Exclusively in Stump Patches or in 

 Slash With No Competing Vegetation; Large Seedlings Are 

 Usually Found on Bare Soil, Such as Old Roads, Log Landings, 

 and the Sites of Burned Brush Piles; Seedlings of Medium and 

 Small Size Prevail on Grassy Areas.
