The forestal conditions and silvicultural prospects of the coastal plain of New Jersey, with remarks in reference to other regions and kindred subjects .

They prefer poplar, because the trees are easily pro-duced from cuttings, because they soon grow to a size fit forboards, because they yield the peasant loppings for fuel, andbecause they throw so little shade that grass and other cropswill grow between the rows. Plate XXIV shows a peasant bind-ing poplar loppings in fagots for fuel, and a peasant sawingboards by hand from poplar logs which he has probably raisedfrom cuttings of his own planting. This leads us to the consideration of those persons who possess -;small tracts of land in South Jersey out of which they must earna livelihood.
