for instance — are usually very poorly supplied, and benefit 

 greatly from transplanting. 



The distance apart at which to transplant seedlings 

 depends upon the species, the age of the seedlings, the 

 length of time they are to remain in the Hnea, whether 

 they are to be once or twice transplanted, and the ultimate 

 size of plants required. 



In explanation of the terms used below — 



1-year 1-year plants are those that have been trans, 

 planted as 1-year seedlings and have stood for 

 1 year in the nursery lines. 



2-year 1-year, 2 years in the seed-beds and 1 in the 

 lines. 



2-year 1-year 1-year, 2 years in the seed-beds, trans- 

 planted in their third year and again in their 

 fourth year — i.e., twice transplanted. 



2-year 2-year, 2 years in the seed-beds and 2 years 

 in lines — once transplanted. 



Hardwoods and Larch require more space than the 

 majority of conifers. Some species — for instanc'^, Corsican 

 and Maritime Pines — should be transplanted more fre- 

 quently than other conifers. 



1-year 1-year 1-year and 1-year 1-year 2-year plants 

 are usually better rooted than 2-year 1-year or 2-year 

 2-year respectively, and will be more likely to survive 

 when planted out in the woods. 



1-year 1-year transplants are usually better provided 

 with root -hairs than 2-year seedlings, although they are 

 often not as large, as they have not fully recovered from 

 transplanting.
