LOSS or CONIFEROUS SEEDLINGS. 



Damping-off of coniferous seedlings, 

 in the opinion of forest pathologists of 

 the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture, causes losses ordinarily consid 

 erably heavier than the nurseryman re- 

 alizes. Young seedlings decay and dis 

 appear so soon after infection that thr 

 number of dead seedlings visible at any 

 one time is but a small part of thr 

 total loss. Furthermore, many of tht 

 seedlings are killed immediately after 

 the seed sprouts and before the seed 

 lings appear above the soil surface.
