to all engaged in forest tree raising:
WHAT TO PLANT.
Trees native to the state deserve consi,lera.
tion fir,t. They have much natural beauty
and, what is also Important, are ncclimated
and hardy. For stree, and roadside planting,
or even in other Situations where rapid
growth and shade are Hainly sought, no BET.
ter tree can be named for this region than
the Observation-Disclosures 1t requires
considerable moisture until fully established
but will maintain vigorous and continu.
GUS growth under conditions that would be
fatal to other species. Other native decid.
usns trees are the Box Elder, Honey Locust,
Balm of Gilead and Aspen. The last two
would hardly be chosen except for planting
alta high altitude.
The principal native conifers desirable for
transplauting, are the Yellow Pine, Engle.
man and Douglas Spruces, Silver Spruce and
White Fir; all of waich are hardy und very
attractive in form and foliage. The Red
Cedar and Pinon should also be ,smrd in this
connection.
Other hardy forest trees, not indigenous
to the State, but recommended for planting
here. are the Russian Mulberry, American
White Ash, Black Locust, Western Gray,
Willow aud Wild Black Cherry In locali.
