Aughanbaugh, Harry R. Muckley, and Oliver D. Diller* In May 1950 the forest and ornamental plantings at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station were dedicated as the Secrest Arboretum in memory of Edmund Secrest, the father of forestry in Ohio. Since 19o8 these plantings have been expanded to include well over 600 species and varieties of trees and shrubs from many parts of the world. It is the purpose of this publication to serve as a finding list and guide to the Arboretum. The Purpose of the Arboretum One purpose of the Arboretum is to _determine the species and varieties of trees adapted for ornamental, windbreak, and shelterbelt uses in 6hio. There are many varieties of spruces, firs, yews, arborvitae, and other coniferous trees and shrubs growing here for observation by people interested in landscaping and the planting of shelterbelts. Among the more recent additions to the Arboretum is a collection of over 60 varieties of flowering crabapples, 57 selections of hollies and a plot of Chinese dawnredwood. The second purpose of the Arboretum is to determine the spe?ies of trees best adapted for reforestation in Ohio and to determine the silvicultural requirements that will obtain best results in growth and maturity. In addition to taking measurements on the comparative growth and yield of many different tree species, studies are being conducted on the best uses which can be made of products harvested. The new Wood Utilization Research Laboratory which was dedicated in October 1958 is the field headquarters for the Arboretum. Other phases of forest research which are conducted in the Arboretum are in the fields of forest tree improvement, forest tree physiology, soils, and silviculture. It is expected that in future years many additional forest and ornamental plantings " containing new hybrids and superior selections will be established in the Arboretum. Compartment Map and Key List The Secrest Arboretum has been subdivided into 12 compartments and where practical, a key list is given for each plot. The key list is numerical within each compartment. The map on the following page may be used as an orientation map while the individual COl1l!Jartments show the location of the plots. The index is an alphabetical cross reference list of the plants indicated in the various compartments and plots. *Assistant Professor, Agricultural Technician, and Chairman, respectively, Department of Forestry. · I I R'OAD -< ~ i SECREST ARBORETUM KEY· MAP TO COMPARTMENTS soo· 1000' 4 WOODY PLANTS IN COMPARTMETu'T A *l.
