DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1932 



103 



Nursery operations in the spring 1932 commenced on March 30th, excep- 

 tionally late in spite of a very mild winter. The balance of available nursery 

 stock for permanent disposal was then lifted and heeled in, in the vicinity of the 

 packing shed. 



In order to fill heavy demands for planting stock it was necessary to have 

 transferred to this station, 472,000 conifers and hardwood from the Orono and 

 Midhurst nurseries, making a total of 5,304,000 treeo available for shipping. 



The actual number of trees distributed during 1932 was 4,566,900. 



Lining out of transplants started early in April, and by the middle of May 

 all seedlings and trees for reline were transferred to the nursery line sections. 



With the necessary exception of soft maple seed, sowing was entirely carried 

 out during late fall 1932.
