In planting a few Scotch Pine, Black Cherry, and Douglas Spruce 
were substituted for E]m and Jack Pine. In this plat White Elm and 
Jack Pine are designed as nurse trees for White Spruce and Oak. 
The mixture will require a longer period of cultivation than if a quick- 
growing tree like Boxelder had been used, but in the end it may prove 
an advisable mixture, since the Elms are more tenacious of life than 
the Boxelders.
