Rules for the disposal of these plants 

 will probably provide for distribution to 

 public institutions free of charge, and to

 planting are not grown by any commercial 

 nursery in Virginia, and it is expected that 

 the example of the State will result in such 

 nurseries putting such material on the 

 market after the market has been de- 

 veloped by the State. 



The State Forest Nursery is located at 

 Charlottesville, Virginia, a junction point of 

 the Southern and Chesapeake and Ohio Rail- 

 roads, on ground belonging to the Univer- 

 sity of Virginia and placed at the disposal 

 of the State Forester free of charge for this 

 purpose.

 State Legislature advocating the planting
