24 FOREST PLANTING. 



saving may also be made in planting cost, though too great 

 speed always means poor work and ultimate loss. Of course, 

 if home labor is employed, the entire planting cost may be ig- 

 nored. On the other hand the cost may be considerably increased 

 if many trees die and replacements become necessary. German 

 forest plantations rarely cost less than $10 an acre even with the 

 low wages that prevail. 



WHERE TO GET MATERIAL FOR FOREST PI ANTING. 



The State of New Jersey Furnishes No Trees to Forest Planters. 



Young trees can be obtained from many nurserymen, al- 

 though as a rule those who handle ornamental stock do not have 

 the large quantities of small trees that often are wanted, or are 

 not prepared to make the price low enough. 



Buyers are recommended to satisfy their needs from nurseries 

 within the State, and, other things being equal, from that which 

 is nearest the planting site, or which will deliver the stock with 

 least delay. In all cases it is advisable to stipulate that stock 

 shall be taken from the ground of the vendor not assembled 

 from other nurseries. 



The following carry a good variety in moderate quantities : 



Bound Brook Nurseries, Bound Brook. 



The Shrewsbury Nurseries, Eatontown. 



The Elizabeth Nursery Co., Elizabeth. 



Hiram T. Jones, Elizabeth. 



Joseph H. Black, Son & Co., Hightstown. 



North Jersey Nurseries, Millburn. 



Arthur J. Collins, Moorestown 



Bobbink and Atkins, Rutherford 



Steele's Pomona Nurseries. Palmyra 



F. and F. Nurseries. Springfield 



As there are no nurseries in the State especially devoted to 

 forestry stock, it is sometimes advantageous to buy large quan- 

 tities outside specifying always that the trees shall be grown 

 by the seller, and that prices shall be based upon size, not upon 

 age alone. 



The following are trustworthy: 



North-Eastern Forestry Co., New Haven, Conn. 



D. Hill Nursery Co., " Dundee, 111. 



Isaac Hicks and Son, Westbury, L. I. 



Biltmore Nurseries, Biltmore. N. C. 



American Forestry Co. South Framingham, Mass.
