REPORT OF THE 



No. 3 



on the higher sandy knolls. In excess of 3,000,000 trees, comprising mainly 

 conifers, were lifted and disposed of during the spring cf 1925. 



Seeding: With the exception of a few tentative beds of pine and spruce, 

 and the necessary seeding of elm and soft maple in the spring, all tree seed was 

 sown in late fall after danger of germination was past. Seeding for the year 

 may be classified under two headings:

Nursery Lines: Excellent progress attended the lining out of transplants 

 in the spring of 1926, in that the total number of trees transplanted exceeded 

 that of 1925 by nearly one million, the total number of all species being 4,524,900 



No transplants were lined out during the fall of 1926, as this practice has 

 been definitely done away with, owing to excessive losses as a result of winter 

 injury, and heaving of transplants in the spring. 



Transplant distribution to the Provincial Forestry Station at Orono and 

 Midhurst was relatively small as these nurseries are practically independent of 

 other sources of seedling supply, since they are now in a position to grow most 

 of their own stock.
