DiAGEAM OF Stand ix Hartford County, Conn. 



Mixed hardwoods with an under storj' of Hemlock. Hardwood 50 to 60 years old, 

 6 to 8 inches in diameter, and 35 to 40 feet high. Hemlock 15 to 20 years old. As 

 some of the dominant trees are in poor condition, it is best here to cut certain 

 individuals so as to release the thrifty Hemlock below. Thus, Chestnut Oaks 1 and 

 2 and Hickory 1, injured in the crown by recent storms, are all taken out. The 

 result is a stand almost as well stocked as before and, moreover, free to grow.
