old and the property of Dan A. Perry,
who will send small gang of men to
Orange to set out the pines on a 35-acre
tract which he purchased some time ago.
With the latest consignment in the
ground, Mr.. Perry will be well on the
way toward the completion of his re-
forestation project in the Orange hills.
Already he has transplanted $4,000 seed
lings and the work is not finished. The

in reclamation, conservation or reforest-
alton, and of late the demands for white
pine and other seedlings has been I'M
usually large. A minimum charge per
thousand is fixed for the seedlings.
