GROWTH OF TREES IN DIAMETER 



D.I.B. at stump, on the curve of growth, which indicates the required 

 age of the tree above which the remaining dimensions are to be plotted.

Loblolly Pine, Urania, La. 



The D.B.H. 's for different stump diameters are now connected by 

 a curve, which shows D.B.H. for trees of intervening ages, and for 

 all stump diameters. From this curve the D.B.H. corresponding to 

 each decade in the li e of the tree can be read, in the form of Table 

 LIII.
