 copies may be printed for sale at the discretion of the governor and 

 council, the expense thereof to be paid from the receipts from such 

 sales. Any amounts received from such sales shall be paid into the 

 treasury of the commonwealth. [Approved June 1, 1908. 



Many of the publications have been sent to other States 

 since this resolve was passed. Upon its passage the follow- 

 ing letter was sent to all applicants, and new editions have 

 been printed : 



DEAR SIR OR MADAM : Your application for either or both of the 

 following forestry publications has been received : 



(1) "The Commercial Forest Trees of Massachusetts: how you 

 may know Them. A Pocket Manual." For general use. 



(2) " The Study of Trees in Our Primary Schools." For teachers, 

 mothers, and all interested in teaching children to love trees and 

 nature. 



Under the Resolves of 1908 (ch'apter 121), the Governor and 

 Council have designated that these publications be sold by the State 

 Forester at a price not less than the cost thereof; and additional 

 copies may be printed, the expense thereof to be paid from the 

 receipt of such sales. 



I am empowered to offer the above-named publications to you at 

 the following prices : 



(1) The Pocket Manual, "The Commercial Forest Trees of 

 Massachusetts : how you may know Them," for 5 cents a copy at this 

 office, or by mail for 2 cents extra. 



(2) " The Study of Trees in Our Primary Schools," for 12 cents, 

 or by mail 8 cents extra. 



In case a large number are wanted, as for schools, etc., they can be 

 forwarded by express. 



These publications are neatly gotten up, and, as they are in great 

 demand (the first edition of 5,000 being exhausted in ten days), 

 charging for them at cost is the only feasible method of dissemi- 

 nation. 



I am sorry to have kept you waiting, but pleased to say I am able 

 to supply you or your friends with as many as you may care for, as 

 the new edition has just been received. 



Very truly yours, F. W. RANE, 



State Forester. 



STATE HOUSE, BOSTON, MASS.
