In this plat Aspen, Birch, and Larch are designed as the nurse trees 
for two shade-enduring species. It is not known whether Douglas or 
White Spruce is the more shade enduring, and blanks in these kinds 
may be filled with pines or hard woods in the future, or a portion of 
the Birches may be left standing. 
Reports. 
June 30, 1897, result of count: 919 Birch, 772 Ae and 820 Larch, 
or 69 per cane 
October 12, 1897, result of count: 1,025 Birch, 950 Aspen, 200 Larch. 
Evidently an error in count of Birch and Aspen in one or both counts. 
NOTES ON NEBRASKA PLANTINGS. 
Measurement of growth.—The following measurements were made 
July 29, 1897, and include the total height of trees measured. The 
Catalpas, Black Locusts, and Mulberries in almost all cases sprouted 
from the root, and the remaining trees were, with but few exceptions, 
not over 12 inches high when planted, the tallest at planting being the 
Oaks. The average growth was determined by measuring every tree 
of the variety as it came in the plat up to the number of 25, and taking | 
the average of such measurements. | 
aTo be set in hereafter.
