Keeping A Few Bees

found, during late years, the following
methods most successful:

Other things being equal, location

most suitable for reforesting the waste

In price they range from $3.50 per

for White Pine transplants, and all
orders are packed and boxed free of
charge.
Whether for commercial, ornamen-
tai, or protective planting, suitable
trees are obtainable at the new State
Nursery. 1t is important, however, to
order early, for the supply of some
species is already exhausted Orders
received now will be filled in good sea-

residents of Maryland will not over
look an opportunity of making their
farms more productive, and adding to
the attractiveness and comfort of
their homes.

Forest Trees For Spring Planting

The approach of spring and the
planting season will suggest to many
farmers not alone the cultivation of
their usual crops, but perhaps one of
trees for planting where no other
crops will grow. What to plant on
soils exhausted through long use, and
how to cultivate the waste places on
many farms, constitutes problem
which most Maryland landowners
have, at one time or another, been
called upon to face.
Though forest planting attains it's
greatest measure of utility and value
when carried on primarily for the pur-
pose of retaining waste farms and
fields, much good can often be accom-
plished through the establishment of
well planned shelterbets and wind
breaks. Homes so screened are more
comfortable at all times, and their
appearance is at the same time much
improved. Along the boundaries of
the fields it is possible to plant for
live fence posts, post that won't
wear out, and in many other ways it
Is entirely feasible to add much to the
average farm through the planting of
forest trees.
This year, for the first time, resi-
dents of Maryland are given an OPP
portunity to secure State-grown for
est trees at cost. Free advice is at the
same time given the purchaser as to
Just when, how, and what to plant,
and when desired the State Board of
Iorestry at Baltimore, Md, offers to
furnish trained men for supervising
and laying out such work within the
State.
One year ago the Board established
at College Park nursery for the
growing Of forest trees. Though be-
gun so recently this nursery contains
ut the present time close to a quarter
million trees which are of suitable
lie and age for planting in the spring.
Among the varieties available to land
owners of Maryland are White and
Lobolly Pines, Norway Spruce, and
Douglas Fir, Black Walnut, Black Lo-
Gust, White Ash, Tulip Poplar, and
Red Oak. All are valuable timber
trees, and species of rapid growth
