THE WOODLOT. 



FIGURE 16. 



Diagram of Stand in Hartford County, Conn. 



This diagram shows a wood characteristic of old pastures. It represents the 

 growth of about forty years, and the largest tree is 12 inches in diameter and 35 feet 

 high. In this case a desirable stand is already nearly established. It is only neces- 

 sary to take out scrubby, worthless trees, like Pitch Pine 2, which are beginning to 

 suppress promising young growth, and dead or subordinate trees like Canoe Birch 2 

 and Pitch Pine 1, where the stand is thick enough and better without them.
