ties of basket willow. The basket willows
which had been grown at the Arlington
experiment station, under the Depart
ment of Agriculture, had been kept low
for the production of basket rods and
cuttings to be distributed for starting
new willow plantations. 1t was not
feasible therefore to occupy the ground
with fully developed trees.
The authorities of the Rock Creek Park
offered the use of certain lands there for
planting willows. which were set out
in the spring of 1912. This was followed
by other experimental planting of speci-
men trees sent in from the forest service
nu- s II e. Don the park authorities
were enthusiastic over the idea of having
the open PAGES painted up and extend
ed the most hearty cooperation. placing
thiVy-five acres at the d sposal of the
service for the first paintings They de-
sired to have the open fields put in trees,
and the arrangement was mutually ad-
vantageous. So far the service has fur
nished the stock and the labor of plant
ing, and the park authorities have pro-
tected and cultivated the plantations.
