Vermonters interested in the forestry of
the state may find pleasant opportunity for |
the study of the art by visiting Shelburne
Farms. One of DIR. Webbs ideas for the
Identification of the Farms is along the line
of covering large part of the land with a
growth of trees and to this end there are now
a gang of half hundred men at work setting |
out large numbers of young trees in different
sections of the Farms. One purchase of
$4,000 pines was recently made and number
much greater is being procured from about
Vermont. The native trees are first placed |
in the gardens for year and when they have
proved hardy they are set out as are the |
others. The greater number of the trees
planted are pines, but there are also many |
elms, naples and representatives of the other |
varieties. In planting the trees competent |
men are instructed to have due regard for the
natural beauty of the land where they are
placed and they are grouped accordingly. |
What is known as Lone Tree hill has been |
nearly covered. About half the trees set out
for trial in the gardens survive and are used
permanently.
