Storey, F., Seed Experiments with Pinus sylvestris. (Trans. 

 Roy. Scott. Arboric. Soc. XXIII. 2. p. 168-171. 1 pl. 1910.) 



Experiments are in progress to determine the relative value of 

 this tree grown from seeds from various localities in Europe. The 

 author reports on the appearance of plants from seed sown at 

 Bangor (Wales) in 1907, especially with reference to Scottish seed 

 coUected from forests in Inverness-hire which are generally regar- 

 ded as indigenous forests. The experiments are duplicated at Chorin 

 and Eberswalde (Prussia), Grafrath (Bavaria), Mariabrunn 

 (Austria) etc. The best third year plants at Bangor were raised 

 from Campine (Belgium) seed, and had an a\''erage height of 

 16 cm., their appearance in other respects being good. Seedlings 

 from seed from the Rhine Palatinate were next in merit, then 

 followed seed from Eberswalde (Prussia), Allenstein (Prussia), 

 Ural Mountains (Russia), Baltic Provinces and Haute Loire. 

 The Scottish seed germinated well, but growth was slow and 

 in the third year the seedlings were shorter than any other, ave- 

 rage 10 cm. Similar results were obtained at Chorin, Scottish seed 

 yielding the slower growing plants. whereas Campine seed gave the 

 tallest plants. Apart from size the Scottish plants were of good qua- 

 lity and better than some of the other varieties tested. W. G. Smith.
