Tree-planting on the prairies of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta / by Norman M. Ross. : A12-2/144-1933E-PDF
"The subject of tree-planting on the western prairies is one of general interest to the settlers. Although certain portions of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta are naturally timbered, the larger part of the settled area is practically treeless. ... There are four main points which must be observed if success is to be hoped for. It is safe to say that at least ninety per cent of the failures in tree-planting are due to the fact that the importance of one or of all of these features has been overlooked. The four points are these:—1. The soil must be thoroughly prepared before planting. 2. Only such species of trees should be used as are known to be hardy in the district and suited to grow in the particular kind of soil and in the situation where it is desired to plant them. 3. A certain amount of cultivation of the soil after planting is absolutely necessary. This cultivation must be carried on until the trees are well established and able to grow without further care"--p. 3-4.
