CALIFORNIA FOREST TREE SEED 
ashen senate edad eth laeerchneateel ioscan vied 
The Manning Seed Company has now extended its seed collection 
zones to include the hardy forests of Northern California. This was done 
to enable our Company to supply tree seed from the entire range of cli- 
matic conditions found on the West Coast of North America. Thus, we are 
able to supply seeds collected from zones which are both higher and drier 
than those in the Pacific Northwest. 
To insure the integrity of every seed source, this seed is 
collected and carefully processed under the direct supervision of tech- 
nically trained foresters. Each lot of seed is positively identified 
with the area from which it is collected so that your seed orders can 
be accurately duplicated in future years. 
In 1952 California's seed collections were limited to a 
certain few regions and elevations. In 1953, however, we hope it will . 
be possible for us to make collections in additional regions to meet the 
requirements of the various planting programs inaugurated by our custom- 
ers. It is, therefore, necessary that orders be placed well in advance 
of the August cone collection season in order to insure fall delivery. 
Seeds of the following species have been processed and are 
now ready for shipment: 
Abies magnifica - Red Fir 
Pinus Jeffreyi - Jeffrey Pine 
Pinus lambertiana - Sugar Pine 
Pinus monticola - Western White Pine 
Pinus ponderosa - Western Yellow Pine 
Sequoia sempervirens- Redwood 
If you have a planned reforestation program and require a 
specific amount of seed each year, it will be to your advantage to in- 
vestigate our Contract Buyer Agreement which insures the proper seed 
for your planting site on an annual basis. 
When making inquiry, please indicate quantity as well as 
the desired region, zone and elevation.
