These plants are all in thrifty growing condition, and will be 



furnished at actual cost of production to prospective planters in 



Maine. 



While several small sales of the larger sized transplants were 



made this season, the nursery can hardly be considered to be on 



a commercial basis until it is producing an annual supply of 



three-year-old transplants, since this is the size that is usually 



recomimended for forest planting under average conditions in 



this region. 



In addition to the very valuable experience gained by the 



forestry students in practical work in the forest nursery, it will 



enable the prospective forest planter in Maine to secure good 



planting stock at a minimum price. 



Conclusions 



In reviewing the work of the past two years, it will be seen 

 that a considerable advance has been made, not only in the work 

 of the department at the University of Maine, but for the gen- 

 eral advance of forestr}' interests throughout the state.
