REPORT OF THE 



No. 3 



The practice of spring seeding has gradually given way to that of fall sowing, 

 until only such as elm, and soft maple, and coniferous seed of one or another 

 species, which was unprocurable until too late for handling during the fall, of 

 necessity had to be spring sown.

Nursery Lines: A new record as regards lining out of transplants was made 

 during the spring of 1925. Over three and one-half millions of trees were 

 transferred from seed beds to the nursery lines. 



Transplants Shipped to Other Provincial Forest Stations 



Fertilizers: On account of our greatly increased nursery stock and a rather 

 curtailed acreage suitable for nursery lines, our work is becoming more intensive.
