.6. Be sure to distinguish and place in the proper columns seeds 

 planted in a nursery and those planted in permanent plantation. 



7. If seeds or seedlings, the botanical names of which are not found 

 in the list on the form, are planted, indicate tlie ])io]>er name in the

8. Anv plant raised from a seed is a seedling. The age of a seed- 

 ling is determined by the number of growing seasons through which 

 it has passed. A seedling having com])leted its first season of growth 

 is designated as "a one year old seedling,'' irrespective of when the 

 seed was sown. It remains a one year old seedling until the second 

 season's growth begins, when it may be said to be in its second sum- 

 mer, but it does not become a two year old seedling until the second 

 season's growth is comjdeted. 



I^^ven though seedlings may have a new season's growth started in 

 Ihe spring when they are planted or transplanted, they are still de- 

 signated by their age of the previous winter. 



0. The age of transplants is determined by the number of growing 

 seasons through which they have passed. 



A seedling transplanted at the end of the fiist season's growth or 

 at the beginning of the second and remaining in the transplant bed 

 throughout the second season of groAvth, is two 3^ears old and may be 

 designated as a two-vear old transplant, or represented bv the figures 

 1-1. 



A seedling two years old, transplanted at the end of the second 

 season's giowtli or at the beginning of the third and remaining in 

 the transplant bed throughout the third and fourth seasons of 

 growth, is four years old and may be designated as a four year old 

 transplant, two years transplanted, or rej>resented by the figures, 2-2.

Plantation Growth Kecord. 



It is absolutely necessary that the I)e])artment of Forestry collect 

 uniform data with reference to the growth of trees in artificial planta- 

 tions, upon which may be based futuie sylvicultural and financial 

 ]>lans. This form will serve for such ])urpose. 



1. One sheet should be used for each plantation oi- for each species 

 in the ])lantation. 



2. Tliis record sheet should be related to Form .'>^> by entering upon 

 it the consecutive number of the plantation which it concerns. 



(Jross out "Seeds" or "Seedlings," according to wliat was used in 

 making the ])lantation. 



4. "Age of Seedlings" refers to the age of the ]>lants when they were 

 set in plantation. 



T). In ])lanting seeds, there may be spot, strip, or broadcast method 

 of sowing, and various details connected with each. In planting 

 seedlings, there may be hole, mound, sj)lit sod, and various other 

 methods and details connected therewith. These details should be 

 ■ (^t forth either on the back of this sheet or on Form 33. 



(j. The second column, ''Age of Trees," should give the age of the 

 trees from seed.
