PLATE 6 
A. —Reproduction resulting from a single fire in a typical mature Douglas fir forest. 
This is an example of what is usually found on good sites where ground fire has not 
been at work during the general conflagration. A fine stand of Douglas fir and asso¬ 
ciate reproduction in the # * old forest 1 ’ portion of the Tower Rock bum of 1902. Photo¬ 
graphed in Rainier National Forest, 1914. 
B. —Homesteaders clearing in an alder “bottom” surrounded by second growth 
Douglas fir. This even-aged uniform stand of Douglas fir followed a virgin forest 
fire of about i860. The charred stubs in the foreground and the tall, bare snags rising 
above the second growth are remnants of the former forest. The burned area of this 
young forest in the 1902 fire at Tower Rock was not succeeded by dense reproducion 
as was the burned area of the virgin stand. Photographed in Rainier National Forest, 
1914.
