SCOTCH PINE SEEDLINGS — GROWING AND GRADING 
Grown this year with fewer trees per square foot of bed, we have an average stockier tree. 
Spacing and soil quality have produced an average taller tree; almost none over 10 inches, 
but a far better percentage than before in the grade sizes best for machine planting. 
We will continue grading the greater part of our beds, in two sizes, 2 to 3!/7 inch and 3!4) to 
8 inch and over, as in past years. 
For those growers who prefer bigger stock, part of our beds, which average taller, will be 
graded 3 to 6 inch and 6 to 10 inch; this for easier, faster handling in the field and possibly 
better first year growth.
