This plat is designed strictly on the principle of having the great 
mass of the trees of shade-enduring species. ‘he nurse trees, Boxelder 
and Russian Mulberry, are both shade-enduring while young, and when 
they have been cut out the light-demanding species, Pine, Oak, Ash, 
and Elm, are only equal in number to the shade-enduring Spruces. 
Where the time spent in cultivation of trees is an important item, as 
it usually is with the farmer, the use of shade-enduring species as 
nurses is economical, because the ground is sooner shaded and the 
period of cultivation is shortened. 
Result of count, June 30,1897: 829 Boxelder, 459 Russian Mulberry, 
33 Oak, 54 Ash, nid ol Elm. 
On October 1 the plat contained 793 Boxelder, 482 Muieceye 23 Oak, 
34 Ash, 50 Elm, or 70 per cent of the number planted. 
a To be planted hereafter.
