North America, and maps, climatic tables and other information on seed collection 
zones and regions, are equally valuable for specifying origins of other species such as 
Western hemlock, Western red cedar, Grand fir, Lodgepole pine, and Sitka spruce 
erowing in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska, as well as for Pon- 
derosa pine, Sugar pine and many others in California. 
Positive recommendations for the use of seed of specific origins can be made 
only after long-term experiments and knowledge of the areas where plantings are to 
be made. The Manning Seed Company is not set up to make such recommendations, 
nor does it attempt to do so. However, as a service to its customers, in the selection 
of seeds most likely to thrive on their plantations, there has been tabulated on 
pages 8 and 9 climatic data which it is felt would be helpful in making the proper 
selections. For the states of Washington-Oregon, 69 different seed collection zones in 
the 9 seed collection regions are shown. Thirteen collection zones in 4 regions are 
shown for Alaska, 21 zones in 4 regions for British Columbia, and 25 zones in 12 
regions for California. There are numerous 500 foot elevation belts located within 
these zones, so that there are several hundred origin specifications for CERTIFIED 
MANINGSEED in these locales.
