Fig. 9.—Low and wet lands bordering bodies of water, and those not easily drained often give valuable tree growth. Forest growth about a mill pond. Seeds germinate quickly in moist soils. on moist or wet lands. Wherever there is plenty of moisture seeds readily germinate. Many do equally well on high ground. Low or wet lands are usually very rich in plant food, the accumulation of deposits from the higher ground. When this soil is drained or raised it contains valuable elements that become very available as plant food, and trees grow rapidly in 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 New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station.
