27. Abies balsamea. 



Sylvicultural development and treatment are 

 pretty much the same as in the case of the 

 European fir. It seems to be more suitable 

 for Northern Europe than the Central European 

 species, and more closely resembles the Siberian 

 fir, both in its botanical and forestal aspects. 



28. ChamcBcyparis spkceroidea. 



A fairly rapid-growing half-shade bearing kind 

 of tree, which is worth growing in the domain 

 of the sweet chestnut on moist and on fresh 

 soil in the oak region — that is, on fairly good 

 land in groups among the broad-leaved timber 

 tree. The few experiments made with it have 

 demonstrated its frost-hardiness. Where oak 

 disappears and spruce and beech predominate, 

 of course it can only be planted on an area with 

 a south aspect. 



29. Juniperus virginiana. 



Although this fairly rapid growing tree 

 makes little demand either on soil or climate, it 

 nevertheless requires a considerable amount of 

 warmth to enable it to attain technically useful 

 dimensions. All experiments made so far prove 

 that useful sizes can only be produced in the 

 natural distributive region of the sweet chestnut 

 where the tree may be raised in groups or in
