110 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



9. Seed Collecting 



During the autumn of 1934 seed-collecting was undertaken to procure 

 only those species which were essential to the immediate needs of the nurseries. 

 The largest quantity of any of the species being used is still red pine and 

 practically all of this sown during the 1934 season was seed of the 1932 crop. 



For convenience in handling this work the province has been divided into 

 five zones each with a central storing and shipping point from which the zone 

 takes its name. For a better understanding of these a brief outline of seed 

 crop conditions in each zone is here set down.
