Supply. ial variations and hence on the importance 



of seed supply for planting receive confirm- 

 ation by Orlowsky in Livland, especially with regard to the Scotch 

 Pine, and he recites the various regions which produce undesira- 

 ble growth forms. 



He refers to the resolution of the German Forestry Council in 

 1910, henceforth to use only warranted pure German pine seed, 

 excluding all foreign importations, so that the crooked growing 

 French, the poorly lignifying Hungarian, the northern slow grow- 

 ing races be excluded. He points out that some of the German 

 sections do not produce desirable races, and that on the contrary 

 the optimum of development is found in Russian Poland, hence 

 the exclusion of this seed is undesirable.
