Directions for Growing Conifer Trees from Seed 
Pine, Spruce and Juniper seeds are very slow in germinating. 
To hurry germination, many propagators stratify the seeds. This 
is done by mixing the seed with sand or peat moss, with sufficient 
moisture added to prevent drying. Store the seeds in a box for a 
sufficient length of time to allow the germ to become well started. 
The seed bed is usually eight feet wide and any length required. 
The ground should be very thoroughly pulverized, the seed scat- 
tered broadcast on the surface, or in shallow rows, and covered 
with sand or a very light sandy loam to the depth of one-fourth 
of an inch. Caution must be used or many seedlings may be 
killed by drought or by white-spot injury to the base of the stems, 
Stakes should be driven at intervals on each side of the seed 
bed and a rail or board nailed on to support shading. The latter is 
best made by nailing lath on small poles ten feet long. Eight 
feet should be covered with lath about one-half inch apart, allowing 
balance of. poles to project at the end. Young seedlings must be 
shaded on appearance.
