Book Description
Excerpt from Tree Breeding at the Institute of Forest Genetics In 1924 Mr. Eddy and Lloyd Austin, whom he employed to direct the work and who served in this capacity until 1940, sought a suitable location for the tree-breeding station. All of the milder timber-growing sections of the United States were considered, most of them being visited by Mr. Eddy or by Mr. Austin. They compared climatic data, soils, accessibility, and other important requisites for tree growing, and finally chose the vicinity of Placer ville, Calif, for the work. On a site embracing 106 acres 3 miles east of the city, they established the Eddy Tree Breeding Station. Clearing of land and collecting of seed started in 1925.
