This plat is designed with Spruce and Pine as the permanent trees, 
the nurses being a mixture of light-needing (Aspen and Artemisia) and 
shade-enduring kinds (Russian Mulberry). The Mulberry, aided by 
‘the Catalpa, will change the conditions of light very materially from 
what they would be with only the Aspen and Artemisia as nurses. 
Result of count, June 30, 1897: 576 Aspen, 548 Mulberry, 532 Arte- 
misia, 163 Catalpa, and 105 Douglas Spruce. 
The count of October 1, 1897, resulted: 553 Aspen, 550 Mulberry, 
540 Artemisia, 159 Catalpa, 72 Douglas Spruce, or 55 per cent of the 
number planted.

In this plat Artemisia is designed merely to fill in for a few years, 
and when it is cut out the trees will stand 4 by 4 feet apart, with Birch 
and Aspen as nurses. The conifers are all shade enduring except the 
Pines, and once established the mixture should be successful. 
The count of June 30 resulted: 1,102 Artemisia, 318 Birch, and 374 
Aspen (part substituted for Birch). 
Count of October 1, 1897: 1,104 Artemisia, 270 Birch, 331 Aspen, or 
71 per cent.
