(c) Germination: 



The germination of seed was conducted again this year in the Angus 

 seed germinating laboratory as it is very necessary that accurate tests of all 

 seed in storage be recorded, especially if we continue to sell our surplus seed. 

 Such information is also necessary for the guidance of our nursery superin- 

 tendents when sowing their seed. 



The method used during the past year has been the Jacobsen Method as 

 improved by Professor Tourney. 



The number of tests by species is as follows: 



White Pine 172 



Red Pine 1,946 



Jack Pine 7 



Scotch Pine 9 



White Spruce 190
