. Annual report . - ■*.- *--- A. KNECHTEL, PHOTl. TEMPORARY NURSERY, NORTHERN AUSTRIA. THE GROUND OUTSIDE THE FENCE IS PLANTED WITH FOUR-YEAR-OLD A. KNECtllEL, . PART OF FOREST TREE NURSERY, THURINGIA, GERMANY. THE BEDS IN THE BACKGROUND, WITH ROWS SHOWING DISTINCTLY, ARE WHITE PINE. FOREST NURSERIES AND NURSERY METHODS IN EUROPE. 22 1 Square beds are very unusual in European nurseries, although in some of thecommercial nurseries in Germany large areas filled with transplants may be seenin which there are no paths. A spade is used to take up the seedlings for transplanting. It is shoveddown between the rows, then pressed upwards, after which the plants are gentlyand carefully removed by the workman with his fingers and placed in a box-likeframe made of slats. The seedlings are carried to the new bed, where they areset out in drills four inches apart and the earth pressed firmly by hand aroundthe roots. The rows or drills in the transplant beds are made at intervals of fiveinches. The infant trees are transplanted only once in the nursery and are leftthere until they are five years old, as the climate is somewhat severe. Weeding
