THE PLANTING OF 1897. 
Following the general plan pursued in Nebraska and Kansas, the 
plats set in 1897 were designed with light-demanding species as nurse 
trees for conifers. Eight one-half acre plats were planted with Arte- 
misia, Aspen, and Birch, both pure and in mixture, and in all blanks 
were left at regular intervals for the conifers, which will be set in 
1898 or 1899, according to the growth of the nurse trees. As these 
designs are similar to those already given, they do not appear here. 
Along the north side of the plantation three one-half acre plats were 
designed as a protection for the remainder of the plantation, and the 
designs follow: | 
PLAT 58.—One-half acre, 3 by 3 feet, 2,420 trees.
