A field course embracing the study of the w^oody vegetation in the vicinity of Mont Alto, where more than 150 species of native trees and shrubs are found. The woody flora about Mont Alto embraces northern species which follow the moun- tains towards the south and southern species which extend northward through the Cumberland valley. More than 100 different species of native woody plants are found within 15 minutes walk of the school. Many introduced species are accessible for study in the planta- tions of the Mont Alto State Forest, and in the school nursery and arboretum. This course consists almost entirely of field work. An afternoon of each week is spent in nearby forests and fields, and at irregular intervals a day or a week-end trip is taken to nearby points of special dendrological interest, such as the Gettysburg battlefield and the banks of the Potomac river. Field tests cover about 700 speci- MEASURING THE HEIGHT OF TREES WITH DIFFERENT HEIGHT MEASURING INSTRUMENTS. INTENTIONAL SECOND EXPOSURE.
