GATHERING AND STORING
THE EVERGREEN SEED

In response to inquiries about col
lecting evergreen seeds the follow
ing brief directions are given:
Spruces-These trees ripen their
seeds in the autumn of the same
year in which the cones appear. The
cones should be gathered when the
scales begin to open to let the seeds
fall out, or as soon as the cones turn
brown. This will usually occur near
the last of August or the first of
September, In the lower attitudes.
The cones should be dried either in
the sun or near a stove, after which
the seeds will usually rattle out
when the cones are beaten with a
stick.
Pines-Pine cones require two
seasons to mature. so there are
young and old cones on the tree at
the same time. The mature cones
should be gathered and treated sim
ilarly to those of the spruces. Lodge
pole or jack pine cones. however, do
not usually open readily until heat
ed quite severely. A moderately hot
oven will do II the cones are removed
as soon as the scales open enough to
spruce an dpine are best stored by
mixing them with dry sand kept in
mouse proof boxes placed under a
shed during winter.
Cedars and jumpers ripen their
seeds in berries which may be pick
ed in early winter or as soon as ripe.
The pulp must be removed, usually
by soaking over night in strong lye
and rubbing on a sieve. after which
the seeds should be mixed with
moist sand and placed where they
will freeze during the winter season.
