Two experimental plantings were made at widely separated locations on the blueberry-sweet-fern (Vaccinium-Comptonia) sites of northern Ontario. Red pine and jack pine were planted in tests comparing seedlings and transplants, spring and fall planting, and several site-preparations and planting-methods. The results were examined in terms of first-and-fifth-year survival, and fifth-year heights.Red pine was not found as suitable for planting in this site as jack pine.In jack pine plots, the 2-1 transplants gave better survival and growth than the 2-0 seedlings.There was better survival and growth from spring planting than from fall planting.
