GROWTH TABLES. 



Little information has been made available for the general public 



on the question of tree growth. The space here allows only a few 



summary tables. 



The same species of tree may vary in growth considerably in 



different situations and under different conditions, and therefore 

 y . the figures given are not accurate for more than one locality or set 

 P of conditions. However, the data given were selected to show fair 



conditions where a selection was possible. *' Second growth" 



frequently shows increased growth, since in a virgin forest trees 

 % -jlh sometimes are shaded too much when small. The data are sufficient 



to point out the rapid-growing species and give an approximate 



idea of the rate of growth.
