Not illustrated. 1894 Excerpt: ...plant louse ( Ckurnus-pinicorticis, Fitch?) has been very abundant on many of the trees, attacking the trunks and larger branches for several years. They are sometimes so abundant that the whole trunk has from a little distance a white, or grayish white appearance. The white pines do not cast so dense a shade now as they did ten years ago. At that time there was no undergrowth among them. At present there are some small wooded plants, such as grape, raspberry, cherry, box elder, etc., besides weeds, coming in, and there would likely be more of these were it not for the heavy mulch of leaves that covers the ground. In 1886 the average size of the better trees was: Height, 24 ft. 9 in.; circumference, 17 in. At present the better trees are 38 to 40 ft. high and 8 to 9 in. in diameter. During the winter of 1882-3 the leaders of a considerable proportion of the trees were broken down by the weight of sleet. This was the cause of many trees being crooked at that point, and of others having more than one leader. Except for the trees deformed in this way nearly all have almost perfectly straight trunks. The trees are much more nearly uniform in height than in diameter. The sizes of the trees in the plat are as follows: Fifty-eight are 3 in. in diameter; 194, 4 in.; 256, 5 in.; 236, 6 in.; 144, 7 in.; 70, 8 in.; 11, 9 in.; 5, 10 in. Norway Spruce (Abies excelsd). A-large lot of small seedlings were put in close nursery rows in the spring of 1870 and grown there two years. In the spring of 1872 a plat of half an acre was planted 2 by 4 ft. in the low ground on each side of the open ditch that crosses the forest. Although the season was so severe with the other evergreen, not more than 2 per cent. of these died. Comparative ease of transplanting, at least when young, ..
