This forest of broadleaf species isremarkable for its luxuriant growth and large timber. Although the gums and hickories are the most important in pointof numbers, the Cow Oaks and White Oaks will probably prove themost important commercially. The forest as a whole has the appear-ance of a nearly even-aged mature stand. The large, spreading crownsof the oaks slightly overtop those of the other species. Rising tonearly the same height are the gums, hickories, and ashes: and allthese species are very evenly distributed over the entire is somewhat smaller in size, while the Holly and Hornbeamform a kind of scattering underwood to the main stand. The forestas a whole is dense, and but little light penetrates through the heavycrowns. •
