ORDER YOUR TREES
State Is Offering High Grade Stock
at Cost of Production.

at COSt OF GrOQuctlOn.
State Forester F. W. Besley has
announced that orders are being re-
ceived for stock from the State For
est Nursery, and that there are num-
erous inquiries from all parts of the
State regarding the high-grade stock
at bottom prices which the Board of
Forestry has made available to res
idents The State Forest Nursery
naturally does not work at a profit,
while at the same time it maintains
a constant and uniform standard of
excellence. The combination appeals
to the planter, and each season thor
oughly drains the nursery at an early
date of all the stock which can be
made available. Mr.. Besley's advice
to "order early" is therefore timely
and necessary.
This year there are 10 kinds of
trees in SO different sizes and ages
from which to make a choice. Prices
vary from the three dollars asked for
thousand l to inch Norway spruce,
for reforestation purposes, to the IS
cents which represents the expense of
growing and offering to the planting
public an elm or an ash transplant in
IL to Is foot size. There are white
and loblolly pines, Norway spruce and
bald cypres among the conifers; in
hardwoods there is great variety,
with black walnut, red oak, scarlet
oak, burr oak, sugar maple, pin oak,
pecan, American elm, ash, beech,
black locust and oriental plane. They
represent, it seems, to US, the greatest
bargain sale which the State Forest
Nursery has ever offered to the public
