THE BILTMORE FOREST FAIR 



In the Spring of 1896 I had planted 



A. On the slope facing North 

 2,000 yearlings of Chestnut Oaks, 

 2,000 yearlings of Ailanthus, 



5,000 two-year old Cherries, (Black), 

 2,000 yearlings of Hickory. 



B. On the slope facing West (in a hollow where the sedge 

 grass was particularly heavy) 



4,825 four-year old Douglas Firs, (Glauca) 



4,800 three-year old Sugar Maples, 



1,600 three-year old White Walnuts, 



1,400 three-year old Black Walnuts, 



3,100 two-year old Black Cherries, 



2,000 one-year old White Oaks. 

 The Douglas Firs are illustrated by the picture following 

 next; but you had better see them on the spot. The expense of 

 these plantings was: 



For plants $89.69 



For work 151.37 



Total $241.06
