In the same region, the yellow pop
lar and the chestnut, both trees which
grow and are capable of en
during considerable shade, are con
trolled, the one because much of its
seed is barren, the other because
many of the nuts are eaten by animals
And the red cedar, of slow growth and
sparse representation, is aided
through the distribution of its seeds
by birds, with their power to germi-
nate unimpaired.
The aspen, short-lived and requir
ing much light, holds its own with
losgerdived and shade-enduring trees,
because its downy seed is produced in
great quantities and is scattered far
and wide by the wind. The ash and
the basswood, of rapid growth ami
bearing an abundance of seed, are
withheld by strong demands upon
light, and by the need of a fresh and
fertile soil. The red fir, equaled by
few North American trees in rapidity
of growth, and otherwise well
equipped to gain the upper hand in its
region, is controlled through the usual
failure of its seed to germinate except
when accident has removed the leal
litter and exposed the mineral soil.
The study of trees as living, striv
ing organiems in a world of their own,
lends an almost human interest to the
forest. Every day spent in the woods
will be the pleasanter for some insight
