Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Older Forest Plantations in Massachusetts Seed plots were attempted by some, and others even tried out broadcast sowing. At the end of this period there were in Massachusetts alone forest plantations of white pine to the extent of 10,000 acres. Typical of the forest planters of this time was Mr. Augustus Pratt, a former member of the State Board of Agriculture, who, when nineteen years old, planted pine seed on an old pasture belonging to his father. The wood lot which thus developed has been recently cut, and was between forty and fifty years old. After 1880 interest began to decline, chiefly because of the immense supply of lumber brought from the region of the Great Lakes at a low rate of transportation and the inadequate methods of combating forest fires; these conditions tended to gradually dampen the enthusiasm of the forest planter. Present Need of Reforestation. We are now entering once more upon a campaign for the reclamation of waste land. This is due not alone to the decrease in our supply of lumber, but also to the following facts: - There is a growing sentiment among our people for forests and scenic beauty. There are nearly 1,000,000 acres of waste land in Massachusetts; our hardwood forests are threatened by gypsy, brown-tail and other moth pests, and our beautiful chestnut tracts by the ever-increasing chestnut bark disease. Improved methods of forest-fire fighting and the co-operation of railroads, local fire departments and individuals have made possible the protection of forests, once they have been acquired. Coniferous trees offer the best means of realizing our present needs. They act as the most effective check upon the devastations of the moth, being unedible to the brown-tail, while the gypsy will pass them by if he can find anything else upon which to subsist. Beneath a pine forest there is always a thick bed of needles which keeps the ground moist and free from sprouts and deciduous seedlings.

This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Additional Notes Upon Trees and Tree Planting in Massachusetts There is certainly no proof yet, and perhaps no very strong indication even, that any foreign tree, with the excep tion only of the willow, ' yet introduced into Massachusetts, has qualities not possessed in a greater degree by some'na tive tree, which would recommend its general cultivation in economic forest planting, although it is, of course, too soon yet to pronounce with perfect confidence upon all the for sign trees introduced into our plantations. Individual ia tercet, which has cultivated here foreign trees, and especially European trees, often upon a large scale, has made it possi ble to determine at least that many trees, largely cultivated in Europe in economic forests, and in, a1nerica in orna mental plantations, are utterly unsuited to our climate. Too much praise can hardly be given to the men who have been patiently testing here for years the merits of foreign trees.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commercial Forest Trees of Massachusetts, How You May Know Them This handbook has been planned and published by the State Forester in order to have a practical working description of the commercial trees at the command of Massachusetts citizens. Technical terms necessarily used in botanical and forestry books are bewildering to the practical, everyday lumberman, farmer or average person. The attempt, therefore, of this treatise is to point out clearly how one can tell the commercially valuable trees of Massachusetts in a plain and untechnical manner. The really most important points or characters the tree has, which distinguish it from all others, are first pointed out. This will be all many persons may care to know. If five needles growing in a cluster always denote a white pine, for example, and people have their attention called to it, few will ever mistake that tree for others. They can settle the matter easily by examining the tree for themselves. Likewise, other trees can be told by following the same plan of identification.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report on the Trees and Shrubs Growing Naturally in the Forests of Massachusetts, 1846 In the Conspectus, or Distribution into Families and Genera, I have attempted to offer a substitute, so far as the plants treat ed of in this Report are concerned, for the arrangement by the artificial system. This attempt I submit with many misgivings. If it shall be considered a failure, it may at least serve to aid others 111 more successfully accomplishing the object. My sketches of the natural families, and, in a considerable degree, of the genera, are necessarily drawn mostly from books; and, as they are taken from the standard works of the science, Endlicher, Lindley, Torrey, and others, are usually given with out particular acknowledgment of the source. Botanists will here, however, find some points touched upon which have not usually received much attention from scientific writers. The descriptions of the species of all the trees, and nearly all the shrubs, are my own, except where I have expressly given credit to others. To collect my materials, I have scoured the forests in almost every part of the State, from the western hills of Berkshire to Martha's Vineyard, and from the banks of the Merrimack to the shores of Buzzard's and Narragansett Bays. The leisure of several summers was first spent in ascertaining what the ligneous plants of Massachusetts are, and how they are distributed. If I have not discovered new species, I have found new localities for several oaks, willows, poplars, pines, and birches, and some others of less importance, and have thus enlarged the Flora of the State. That some species have escaped me is altogether probable, as, even in the summer of 1845, I found the Red Birch growing abundantly on a branch of the Merrimack, some hundreds of miles further north than it had previously been noticed by any botanist.

This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Make Improvement Thinnings in Massachusetts Woodlands In the town of Petersham we found an old pasture, containing a thick growth of gray birch, among which a lot of young pines now about twelve years old showed in an ideal way their struggles to get above their grasping neighbors. A half-acre sample plot was measured off, and all the birches cut on one-half of this plot. The other quarter-acre was not touched, so that there could be a comparison made of the difference in the growth of the pine on the immoved and unimproved sections. If our theory proves cor rect, a very few years will suffice to Show the difference. Two men spent two and one-half days in getting out the birch and piling the brush, and the usable product was 4 cords of fire wood.
