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.
