154 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Those planted when one year old are in all cases the largest, and for the 

 various kinds they vary as follows: Scotch pine twice, red pine three to 

 four times, bull pine twice as large. The root systems are even more 

 striking. This experiment should be carried further. The thinning was 

 carefully done and records kept, but I am unable to see that the thinned 

 portions of the seed beds made any better growth than the parts not thinned. 

 The difference in the size of transplants is shown in the accompanying 

 illustrations.
