Experience in Pine Planting Many small plantations under cultivation. Nursery stock able to withstand conditions in open Tn scvtM-al parts of Eastern Canada at the present time, private experi- ments in the planting of white pine spruce and other seedlings are being conducted. In some of these experi- ments the seedlings have been trans- ferred direct from the forest to tlieir permanent location and the results have given, so far as reported, only indifft'rt'nt satisfaction. PLxiX'ricnce has shown that pine or other seedlings are the better for nur- turing one year or more in the nurs- ery row. the transplanting having the effect of bundling the roots together thereby equipping the plant to meet the test of harsher conditions. The pine seedlings taken from the Norfolk County nurseries and placed on abso- lute sand land have done exceedingly well. It has been found, however, that in most cases the voung seed- lings taken direct from the shelter and moisture of the forest will not readily adapt themselves to a sandy field possessing no shelter and devoid of otlier nurturing factors. Tile Canadian Forestry Journal is in recepit of a statement by a Penn- sylvanian much interested in forest reproduction. Some years ago he ti'ied j)lanting a number of evergreen .species (white i)iiie, liemloek. wliite spruce, Canada balsam, Frazer's fir) on slopes already timbered with de- ciduous trees. With the exception of the hemlock (a shade enduring species) the result was disappointing. Most of the trees planted in the open survived, but those placed under other trees fared badly.
