Private Planting. 

 The orders and sales greatly increased the past year. The 

 number of sales to private parties for the past three years has been 

 as follows: 



1909 189 orders 



1910 313 orders 



1911 410 orders 



The orders for the year aggregated 2,037,270 trees; 1,670,370, 

 which Was all we could furnish, were sold. The supply for 1912, 

 now in our nurseries, ought to be sufficient not only to supply the 

 entire demand, but also to furnish trees to continue the important 

 work of reforesting denuded State lands in the forest preserve.
