WORK OF STATE FORESTER IN PLANTING. 



The State Forester has established nurseries on several of the twelve 

 sub-experiment stations, which are located in different sections of the 

 State, where a wide variety of tree species native to the United States 

 and abroad are being grown for experimental and demonstration pur- 

 poses. This stock will be planted out where it may be observed and the 

 species adaptable for planting in this State determined. Surplus stock 

 will be distributed for further testing and observation. State nurseries 

 may later be the medium for the distribution of stock on a far wider 

 scale than is at present contemplated. There is much to be learned as 

 to the species most suitable for planting in Texas and publications on 

 this subject will be issued from time to time. This Department will, 

 as far as possible, furnish information and advise to cities, towns, 

 schools and interested individuals on the planting and care of trees.
