Department of Forestry, 

 Harrisburg, Pa., February 2, 1902. 



The frequent demands made upon this office for information as 

 to the best methods of propagating forest trees induced me to re- 

 quest Mr. Wirt, our State Forester, to prepare this bulletin upon 

 the subject. I believe it will lie timely and useful. 



J. T. ROTHROCK, 

 Commissioner of Forestry.
