Abstract

This publication outlines a simple, inexpensive system of cottonwood (Populus deltoides Marsh. ) improvement which can be easily and immediately incorporated into an industrial or State planting program. It is recommended for use until improved trees can be bred by more sophisticated but necessarily slower methods.
