REPORT OF STATE FORESTER.

in the nursery we shall be able to do much more transplanting 

 than formerly. The State Farm officials, Superintendent Black- 

 stone and Mr. Hunt, have aided us in every way possible, and 

 another spring will have additional land cleared, so that we 

 shall have about 10 acres in the nursery, and be able to do a 

 large amount of spring transplanting, and also raise not only 

 enough transplanted stock to do our entire planting work, but 

 enough to supply other State institutions with these transplants 

 instead of seedlings. 



In our nursery at Amherst we have about 7,000,000 trees, 

 about 1,500,000 of which are three and four year transplants 

 suitable for our spring planting. 



This year we supplied the Metropolitan Park Commission 

 with 300,000 two-year white pine seedlings, the Metropolitan 

 Water Board with 250,000 two-year white pine seedlings and 

 150,000 three-year Norway spruce seedlings, and a number of 

 the commissions with smaller amounts, — a total of 734,000 

 supplied for use on State land, outside of land planted under 

 the reforestation act, by this department.
