THE ASHES : THEIE CHARACTERISTICS AND MANAGEMENT.

GEEEX ASH. 
Tables 10, 11, and 12 show the rate of growth of green ash on 
bottom lands of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Arkansas to be 
very rapid and well sustained. The North Carolina table shows 
slower diameter growth than the South Carolina and Arkansas 
tables, because the stand where the measurements were taken was a 
very dense, even-aged, unthinned young stand: the growth in height, 
however, was rapid enough.
