(d) Transplanting. 



Owing to a poor germination in the seed-beds sown in the fall of 1927, the 

 number of seedHngs available for transplanting was much below normal. To 

 supplement the 1,784,000 seedlings available for transplanting from our own beds, 

 an additional 680,000 red pine 2-0 seedlings were received from Midhurst and 

 transplanted.
