The knowledge of such qualities as these is of great importance in the management of forest lands. REPRODUCTION BY SPROUTS. Besides reproduction from seed, which plays so large a part in the struggle for the ground, reproduction by sprouts from old roots or stumps is of great imi^or- tance in forestry. (See fig. 38.) Trees differ very much in their power of sprouting. In nearly all conifers ex- cept the California coast Redwood, which has this ability beyond almost every other tree, it is lacking altogether. The Pitch or Jack Pine of the Eastern United States has it also to some extent, but in most places the sprouts usually die in early youth, and seldom make merchantable trees. (See fig. 39 and PI. XXII.) In the broadleaf kinds, on the other hand, it is a general and. Fig. 40.—Chestnut sprouts from the stump.
