NUESERYMEXS OPINIONS. 257 



Say 5000 foreign; home, 2500. (William Christie, 

 Fochabers.) 



Home, about 1500 ; foreign, 3000. (B. Eeid & Co., 

 Aberdeen.) 



Foreign produces about double the quantity of home. 

 The reason being, foreign seed is taken out by sun 

 heat, and home seed by artificial heat; the former 

 being perfectly clean, and the latter mixed with the 

 husks. (Cardno & Darling, Aberdeen.) 



More plants can be produced from Tyrolese larch 

 seed than home grown, granting that both are equally 

 cleaned. (Stuart, Mein, & Allan, Kelso.) 



Foreign most productive. (Howden & Company, 

 Inverness.) 



If you can get home larch seed as well cleaned as 

 foreign there should not be much difference ; but it 

 seldom or never is so well cleaned, and chaff is often 

 paid for in home seed. (Little & Ballantine, Carlisle.) 



Tyrolese most productive. (AYilliam Fell & Co., 

 Hexham.) 



Foreign generally produces double the number of 

 plants. (Thomas Imrie & Sons, Ayr.) 



We always count on a much better crop from 

 Tyrolese than from home seed. This season we sowed 

 the latter five times thicker than the former, and the 

 crop of each is about equal. (Dicksons & Co., Edin- 

 burgh.) 



Foreign. One lb. would produce four times the 

 number of seedlings you would get from i lb. of seed 

 of home saving. (Thomas Kennedy & Co., Dumfries.)
