Small quantities of seed of the various hardwoods indigenous to Southern 

 Ontario were also sown, comprising water beech, American mountain ash, 

 hackberry, pepperidge, dogwood, cucumber tree, tulip, catalpa and sassafras. 



Nursery Lines. 



During the spring, 710,000 two-year old jack pine seedlings were lined out, 

 while 230,000 one year old Scotch pine were transferred from seed beds to nursery 

 lines. 



A much larger number of seedlings were lined out during late summer and 

 autumn. Planting began on 7th of August, terminating on the 9th of November. 

 In addition to the regular staff employed, thirty boys, ranging from twelve to 

 fifteen years of age were employed on this special work until school was re- 

 opened. The use of planting boards was resorted to with unvarying success, 

 resulting in greater speed and more careful planting.

A number of hardwoods comprising 70,200 white elm and 79,600 soft maple, 

 too small for distribution, were also lined out, making a total of 3,846,600 seed- 

 lings planted in nursery lines during the fall season. 



In addition to the foregoing disposal of seedlings, a considerable number were 

 shipped to the several recently organized Provincial Forestry Stations and 

 Plantations in the following proportions:
