Matured and young cedar, mostly in gorges, in all 

 stages of growth. 



Large quantities, matured and young. 

 Small quantities, in very rough plaue. 

 Scattered matured and young in the ravines. 

 Small quantity, young. 



A fairly large amount of matured cedar in patches im 

 rough country ; good growth of young timber. 



Moderate quantities of both matured and young cedar. 



On some of these reserves there is a fairly large amount 

 of matured cedar in patches ; also, a large quantity 

 of young growth, well distributed. In most 

 instances the matured cedar is located in rough 

 and l)roken gullies or gorges ; large quantities are 

 now to be found in the watershed of the Macleay 

 and Nambucca Rivers. 



Contains matured and young cedar. 



Contains matured and young cedar, in small quantities, 

 iu very rough localities.

Propagation. — Red Cedar grows most vigorously in the rich, moist, 

 alluvial flats aud sloping ground o^ our Northern Coast districts, particidarly 

 so on the banks of creeks on the eastern slopes of the ranges, ^Yllere tho 

 greatest shelter from the prevailing winds and shade are obtainable Young 

 plants may be successfully transplanted'"' in such localities during thc^ winter, 

 at which season at. least 90 per cent, of the trees planted will survive, and 

 grow at a, rate of from' 3 to 5 feet ainiually. The cedar flourishes best •\\'hen 

 planted], in small open places in existing forests, where tliere is room for 

 the trees to mature, and they obtain the most shade, and are better protected 

 from the winds and the frosts than if planted in open ground. Too mucli 

 air and light is fatal to them. T'ho brush plants must Ix' allowed to grow 

 up with them, care being obviously taken that they do not suiuther the 

 .young cedar plants. 



*3Ir. (iamlilo says: " Secdliuf^s are easily raised, but dllHcult to transplant. 

 The roots are surhice-feerlers, so that it ought not to be grown on the cd.ges 

 nt liclds." These remarks rel'cr to (he Indian tree, but they lar^'ely apply to 

 tmr red cedar also.
