90 THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



where. Only 150,000 trees were planted, consisting of the following species 

 and amounts: 



White pine 85,350 



Norway pine 36,300 



Scotch pine 9 , 1 50 



Bull pine 5 , 600 



Norway spruce 8 , 600 



Douglas spruce 1 , 000 



European larch 4 , 000 



150,000 



The pines were set out on an extension of the State plantation four 

 miles north of Paul Smith's ; the spruce and larch were added to the planta- 

 tion near Ray Brook, in Essex county. 



All of this stock did well after it was set out in the fields, the bullpine 

 (P. ponderosa) making an exceptionally fine growth although this species 

 is not indigenous east of the Rocky Mountain states. 



Arrangements have been made to plant 1,050,000 trees during the 

 coming spring months. We have now in our nurseries 565,450 trans- 

 plants ready to go to the plantations as soon as the weather will permit, 

 and, in addition, we have ordered 500,000 white pine transplants from the 

 Halstenbek nurseries in Germany. The firm with which this order was 

 placed writes us that they may not be able to fill it completely, and would 

 not agree positively to send over 200,000, although, other orders permitting, 

 they might be able to ship the entire amount or the greater part of it. 

 Hence, we may not be able to plant over 750,000 trees this next spring. 

 We may succeed, however, in placing part of the order with another German 

 nursery. 



The stock in our nurseries, available for planting this next spring, 

 consists of: 



White pine, 4 year-old transplants 30,000 



Scotch pine, 4 year-old transplants 101, 500 



Scotch pine, 3 year-old transplants 120, 100 



Bull pine, 4 year-old transplants 1 , 600
