TRANSPLANTING INFORMATION 
The figures 2-1, 2-2 shown at left, represent the num- 
ber of years the trees have been in seed beds, number 
of years in transplant beds, and the number of times 
transplanted. The first figure indicates the number of 
years the trees remained in the seed bed before being 
transplanted. The second figure indicates the number 
of years the trees remained in the transplant bed. The 
total of the figures indicates the age of the tree, and 
each dash represents one transplanting. The total of 
the figures add up to the age of the tree. Thus, a 2-2 
Scotch Pine is a 4-year old tree which remained in the 
seed bed two years, was transplanted, and remained 
in the transplant bed two years. 
SORRY WE CAN'T OFFER YOU 
MORE OF OUR VARIETIES! 
With the help of our experienced nursery folk, Harold 
and I have worked hard these past years to increase 
our nursery stock—to meet your demands for Guar- 
anteed-To-Live Trees. When last spring arrived, we 
were jubilant! Our nursery fields were filled with 
huge numbers of hardy, healthy Trees. 
Then it happened! Spring rains swelled the Saco 
River! Its banks overflowed . . . sending a terrifying 
flood across our nursery. Many of our seed beds were 
washed away . . . several million Trees were destroy- 
ed. Asa result, we unfortunately cannot offer you the 
many varieties we normally do. 
However, as soon as it was possible we sowed extra 
large quantities of seed. We will keep you advised as 
to the varieties, sizes and quantities that we can fur- 
nish you each season.
