As Appearing in the JOURNAL OF FORESTRY 
PI U 
ANNUUNCEMENT 
For All Forestry Seed Purchasers 

ae LEADING distributors of forest 
tree seed, we are pleased to an- 
nounce a new and more scientific 
program for the collection of conifer- 
ous tree seed. 
The Manning Seed Company is in- 
stigating this program to more fully 
insure the success of current and 
future reforestation programs. The 
success of any national scale artificial 
reforestation project is partially de- 
termined by the quality of the tree 
seed used. In past years it has been 
found that the high mortality in many 
plantations has been due partially, 
but not infrequently, to the failure 
of planters to designate specifically 
the seed origin required. 
It is well known that the quality of 
tree seed is determined by many fac- 
tors which include the following basic 
considerations: origin, genuineness, 
purity and viability. It is our inten- 
tion to make these factors of seed 
quality available to you. Foresters 
who want better forests should write 
the Chief Forester regarding their 
seed requirements. Details of our 
1950 Seed Collection Program will be 
supplied upon request. 
Our 1950 Collection Program is ar- 
ranged to meet the needs of three 
types of wholesale buyers of forest 
tree seed. 
1. Contract Buyers — for 
whom we collect seed each 
year on their own property, 
or from specific areas for a 
planned reforestation pro- 
gram. 
2. Seasonal Buyers—for 
whom we collect seed from 
specific sources in pre-deter- 
mined amounts. Prices are 
estimated in advance, sub- 
ject to crop conditions. Or- 
ders must be placed with us 
prior to cone harvest season. 
3. Specific Origin Seed—for 
general use by nurserymen 
or seed dealers. Available 
on a year around basis. 
If you purchase seed in whole- 
sale quantities, you will be inter- 
ested in what our 1950 Scientific 
Collection Program can do for 
you. Write, wire or phone today!
