INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFORESTING LAND. 



Introductory. 



The requests for some information as to the best methods of 

 reforesting land have become so numerous that it seems advisable 

 to issue a pamphlet containing directions regarding the work. 



So many of our people are now ready to undertake tree planting 

 operations that some definite, detailed instructions for their use 

 should be supplied. Hence we have combined here in one publica- 

 tion directions showing how to secure planting stock, what to plant, 

 where to plant, when to plant, how to plant, and some information 

 as to the results that may be expected. 



How to Secure Stock. 



The Forestry Department of the State of New York maintains 

 several large nurseries for the propagation of forest tree seedlings 

 and transplants — pine, spruce and other species — for reforesting 

 the public lands and for distribution at a nominal price among 

 land owners in this State who ma)' wish to undertake reforesting 

 operations on their own account. The price of these seedhngs and 

 transplants is small, being placed at the bare cost, but varies with 

 the age of the plant and species. 



Any land owner who desires trees for planting land in order to 

 raise a forest can secure them while there is a siipply on hand by 

 making appUcation to this Commission.
