In one of these aspen alone was planted; in the other aspen and Balm of Gilead in about equal numbers. Where poplar alone was used (in a plantation of four acres) the average height attained, on moist sandy loam, was 39 feet, average di- ameter at two feet above the ground 5 J inches. The trees here were set four by twelve feet apart, and all the young shoots and suckers kept out. In the other one of the plantations referred to the trees had, on the average, reached a height of 3 5 feet, and an average diameter of four mches. The trees were originally planted ten feet apart each way. The number has since increased and they now number about 2,700 to the acre. No suckers were ever cut out. The Balm of Gilead ap- peared to have made the better growth. This plantation consisted of eight acres of sandy loam soil. A fourth plantation, eight acres in size, on high sandy land, contained aspen trees only, originally set four feet apart each way. Here the average height was only 28 feet, and the average diameter at two feet above the ground 3^4 inches. This lot has been for years used as a sheep pasture, and to this fact is attributed the comparatively poor showing it makes. On the lifth claim all trees had been ploughed up and the ground planted to Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Canadian Forestry Association.
