However, the original design of planting, made up with rigid regularity, was altered somewhat to meet the supply of planting stock and the shape of the field plots. An exact record of the source and kind of planting stock is not available. After making several inquiries and examining the trees themselves, the writer has concluded, from the evidence at hand, that the conifers were 2-1 stock, and the hardwoods 1-0 stock. The coni- fers came from local nurseries. They were grown for one year as transplanted stock at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station Nursery at Windsor, Connecticut, before they were planted in the. Figure 1.

The hardwoods came from the Forest Nursery Company in Tennessee. Since this nursery in all probability secured the seed locally and grew the seedlings, the change of climate involved in transferring the seedlings from Tennessee to Connecticut may account to a huge extent for the poor survival of the hardwood trees. In Angus! of 1934 an examination was made of the two plots and a record was made of the mortality and survival of the individual trees. After this examination the two plots received no more atten- tion until the initiation of this investigation. Condition of the Plantations at the Initiation of the Study In June, L940, the two plantations were examined by the writer and, after a preliminary inspection, plans were made to conduct the root investigations presented in this paper. The two plantations at this time were seven years old and afforded view- as in Figures 1 and 2. In certain part- of these plantati
