The purchase of trees for reforesting purposes is difficult because 

 there are at present so few commercial nurseries growing the 

 desired kinds of trees in sufficient quantity. The demand being 

 much greater than the supply, high prices have resulted. 



The Forestry Bureau of this Commission maintains several 

 large nurseries for the propagation of forest tree seedlings and trans- 

 plants pine, spruce and other species for reforesting the public 

 lands and for distribution at a nominal price to land owners in this 

 State who may wish to undertake reforesting operations on their 

 own account. The price of these seedlings and transplants is small, 

 being placed at bare cost, but varies with the age of the plant and 

 species. 



Any land owner who desires trees for planting in order to 

 raise a forest can secure them while there is a supply on hand by 

 making application to this Commission. 



No orders can be considered unless submitted on our regular 

 application blanks. If you desire trees, send us your name and 

 address that the same may be placed on our mailing list. Appli- 

 cation blanks are sent to all names on our mailing list when we 

 are ready to receive orders. Names for this list may be sent at 

 any time of the year and will be gladly received. 



CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH TREES ARE SOLD. 



The application blank constitutes a contract and provides five 

 things. First. That payment will be made to the Commission 

 within ten days after you have been notified that your application 

 has been granted. This gives us time to sell the trees to others if 

 the applicant does not pay. Second. That the trees will be used 

 for reforesting purposes. This is necessary because the law under 

 which this work is done contemplates this result. No trees will 

 be sold for ornamental purposes. Third. That the applicant will 

 not sell the trees. This is to prevent speculation. Fou?tb That 

 any trees purchased will be properly planted. Fifth. That the 

 purchaser will make a report as to the success of his plarting, 



THE SIZE OF TREES. 



The purpose of this Commission is to grow trees for reforesting 

 land. Inasmuch as the material is shipped and planted in large 

 quantities small trees with well developed roots are most desirable 

 for this purpose.
