nursery only by proper soil manage Iment practices.
 For eight years Dr. Lunt carried on his investigations with seeding conifers planted in typical nursery soils of the state. Both seed and transplant beds were maintained at Windsor. Rainbow forest plantation and at Peoples Forest. with supple tnentary work in frames and tubs at New Haven. Results show that these trees respond to fertilization. but that seedlings are susceptible to injury if too high . concentration of soluble material is used.
 The kind and amount of fertilizer must be governed by the quality of the soil, the age of the nursery stock, and, to Q certain extent, by the species of the tree, Dr. Lunt says. Soil tests of the kind devised at the Experiment Station and now widely used in many states are helpful in determining the condi- ton of the soil. Different kinds of conifers have differing nutritive re- quirements. Of those studied at the station, for example, Scotch pine makes the heaviest demands upon the soil, and spruces, especially Nor way, the least. The experiments are to be continued.
