This plan, which was adopted by the company for which it was prepared and is 

 now in operation, is an example of what forestry promises the owner of longleaf pine, 

 and what it involves. It includes studies of the forest and of lumbering methods, a 

 discussion of the proper diameter limit in cutting, and recommendations for such a 

 treatment of the present crop as will lead to the production of future ones.

COMMEKCIAI. TREE STUDIES. 



*■ Bulletin 13: Timber Pines of the Southern United States. Price, 35 cents. 



A study of the commercial values of the southern pines. It contains many facts 

 relative to the qualities of wood of the different species, as well as a study of the 

 manner of growth of the trees.

A collection of observations of the manner and rate of growth of this valuable 

 wood. 



Bulletin 33: The Western Hemlock.
