The headed-in tree shown on page 284. as it ap- 

 peared in June. Note the vigorous growth 



at the base but about eighteen inches above the 

 ground. 



The first picture shows how, after the snow had 

 settled considerably, it was dug away to allow a 

 box to be built about the tree. This was filled 

 with soil to prevent the newly exposed wood 

 from drying out. The tree was also headed back 

 severely. The second picture, taken about the 

 first of June, shows the vigorous growth that fol- 

 lowed — from eighteen to twenty-four inches. 

 The third picture shows another tree in the same 

 row that was girdled which was boxed in the same 

 manner but not headed back. This tree lived but 

 made no new growth. In June it was headed back 

 and immediately commenced to grow.
