BIGTREES.

The forest service is raising several
acres or Bistree seedlings on the Taho
National Forest in California, at a NOR
northerly point than any natural Big
tree grove. While the giant seduoins arr
found in the forests of the Sierras at var.
ious points throughout a total range q
some 30 miles, in the northern two,
thirds Of this RANGE there is practically
no natural reproduction. 1t has conse.
quently been a question whether tho
species would not practically disappear
from this region when tho present MAJ
ture trees die.
The most northern existing grove Of
Bigtrees is on the Taho 90 Forest. but
about - miles southeast of the site
selected for planting This site Is on a
moist fiat not far from Nevada City,
and Is about 700 feet ABOVE sea level
The first seeding " 81, done IN the fall Of
1910. with very Successful results. and
last fail an additional area was seeded.
The method used IN planting the seed
was that known TO foresters as the seed
spot method" Spots about six feet apart
each wa were prepared by pulverizina
the earth with d garden hoe. Seeds
were then dropped on these spots and
lightly pressed in the soil with the foot
The tlourishing condition of the younk
seedlings gives good reason 70 expect
a future growth Of Bigtrees at thid
point. With protection of forests FROM

Bigtrees should disappear even though
scientists regard them as survivals from
a past age. botanically speaking.
