Given an arbitrary simple finite graph, we can define the convex hull of the incidence vectors of all spanning trees. The paper gives an alternative proof of a theorem of Fulkerson, which gives an inequality representation of the above-defined polyhedron. The proof depends on an easy spanning-tree algorithm applied to the original graph. Using a lemma that says that for a 2-connected graph for arbitrary two edges, there exist two spanning trees which differ exactly in these two edges; also the facets of the polyhedron are characterized.
