The School of Horticulture for Women, Ambler, Pa., 
judging hy the folder just received, is quite up-to-date. 
They are advertising War Courses in Vegetable Garden¬ 
ing, Fruit Growing, Canning and Preserving and Poultry, 
also lectures on practical work in Flori-culture and a 
practical business course. These courses aim to eciui]) 
the much sought after women officers for the land army 
who will train the raw recruits in producing our coun¬ 
try’s food. 
Judging hy the following clipping taken from “Forest 
Leaves,” there is not much encouragement for nursery¬ 
men to grow and offer for sale tree seedlings, when the 
government grows them and offers them free. While it 
is very desirable to encourage the planting of forests, es¬ 
pecially on waste land, some means should be adopted 
whereby free distribution will not come in competition 
with legitimate business. 
No limit will be set this year on the number of forest tree 
seedlings by the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry for free 
distribution. Anyone who wants to plant trees this spring may 
have them for the asking. The only condition being that applica¬ 
tion for less than five hundred trees will not be filled; applicants 
must pay for packing and transportation, and the trees may not 
be sold, but must be actually planted in Pennsylvania for refor¬ 
estation. No applications can be filled for ornamental trees. 
The State Forest nurseries have raised mqre trees last year 
than ever before; but so many of the foresters have enlisted, and 
so few laborers are available, that the number to be planted on 
the State Forests probably will be even less than last year. 
Over 10,000,000 trees are ready to set out next spring, and as 
many more are in the nurseries, but are too small to plant this 
year. 
The stock available for free distribution is almost all three 
years old, and includes white pine, Scotch pine, red pine, pitch 
pine, Norway spruce, European larch, Japanese larch and red 
oak.
