The general tree planting public, ard
nowadays nearly every one with a little
plot of ground Or strip of land along
the roadside comes within this class,
has been accustomed to devoting q
month or two in the spring to work of
this character. Autumn is actually
about as good, but the public has a
feeling that the time when nature does
its work along this line is good enough
for them and plans accordingly.
Ordinarily, from late in the month of
March to nearly the first of May is the
tree planting season, and in this period,
short as it is, there are many miles of
highway which get bordering of trees,
and numerous plots of ground which
blossom out IN little forests. Between
the day when the frost leaves the
ground for good, and the early rains
begin to fall-that is the time, and
present indications are that this time is
very near.
for several weeks the Board OF
Forestry has been answering applicants
with grants Of trees, giving informa-
ton on how and what. and when, to
plant, ard sending out several hundred
of the application blanks which list the
trees now growing in the Forest
Nursery. As these lists state, the
trees are sold to landowners of Mary
land at cost. The rates on all of them
are very low, so low that in the past
two years, or since the Nursery was
begun, 1870, 600 of them have been sold
for forest planting IN this State. And
the price was about siX-tenths of a cent
apiece. Fifty thousand have gone so
far this season.
