CARE OF THE WOODLOT. 
Bulletin 42: The Woodlot. 
A handbook for the use of owners of woodlands in southern New England, prepared 
with the object of enabling them, by observation and practice in the woods, to handle 
their property to the best advantage. A general discussion of woodlot management, 
illustrated by diagrams, widens the application of the instructions to other similar 
regions. 
COMMERCIAL 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. q 
* Bulletin 31: Notes on the Red Cedar. Price, 10 cents. 
A collection of observations of the manner and rate of growth of this valuable wood. 
* Bulletin 33: The Western Hemlock. Price, 20 cents. 
A caretul study of one of the common species of the Pacific coast, which until within 
the last few years was entirely ignored and wasted. The bulletin shows that the 
western hemlock is a distinctly valuable wood, a fact that is now beginning to be 
recognized. 
Bulletin 37: The Hardy Catalpa. - 
A careful study of the rate and manner of growth of this much discussed tree. 
Many facts of importance are brought out and several mistaken ideas corrected. 
Bulletin 38: The Redwood. 
A brief preliminary study of one of the most remarkable trees in the world. Its 
manner of reproduction, rate of growth, and great commercial value are made clearly 
apparent. 
*Bulletin 53: Chestnut in Southern Maryland. Price, 10 cents. 
A study in a restricted locality of the habits, requirements, rate of growth, and 
manner of reproduction of chestnut, containing valuable information as to the 
capacity of the tree to produce ties and poles, of practical interest to growers of 
chestnut generally. 
*Bulletin 58: The Red Gum (revised edition). Price, 5 cents. 
In two parts; the first dealing with the range and silvical qualities of the tree and 
with commercial uses of gum lumber, the second with the mechanical properties of 
the wood. 
Bulletin 64: Loblolly Pine in Eastern Texas. 
A careful study of one of the valuable Southern pines, especially in relation to its 
use for tie timbers. The investigation was limited to eastern Texas, but many of 
the facts and conclusions may be applied to wider areas. The tree is common in 
most parts of the South, and grows vigorously on abandoned fields. 
*Bulletin 69: Sugar Pine and Western Yellow Pine in California. Price, 10 cents. 
A study of the range, distribution, silvical and silvicultural characteristics, com- 
mercial value, and treatment under forest management of two of the most important 
and valuable commercial trees of California. Its conclusions are that conservative 
management of sugar pine and yellow pine is practicable; that fire, the greatest 
obstacle to securing future crops, can be prevented at reasonable cost; and that 
under effective protection, and with a sufficient number of seed trees left in lumber- 
ing, natural reproduction will perpetuate the forest. 
Circular 102: The Production of Red Cedar for Pencil Wood. 
A study of the commercial uses of red cedar, with figures on the returns to be 
expected from planting for posts and pencil wood, cutting at different ages for these 
two classes of material.
