When seed cannot be purchased, it is necessary to pick up. Since then
any kind of coniferous trees bears picked abundant of seed each
per annum and a lot of seasons will often pass among the good crops it,
it is necessary to gather enough seed when the provisioning is abundant
to provide for following years when the crop is proper to be a failure.
The seed matures in the autumn, usually during August or September,
and the cones should be picked to that duration. Pino ask for two
years in that to mature the seed; or, the cones fully are not
formed and the mature seed up to per second autumn after the enrichment
of the flowers in spring. The most greater part of the other important conifers
you mature their seed in autumn of the same season. Shortly later
the seed is mature, the cones open and they allow him to disseminate,

The cones or they are gathered climbing the trees and coupon

trees, or stealing the heaps of squirrels. Where abundant squirrels are
in the forest, the last method is the most convenient. You plant with trees climbing

employee, the workers should be endowed with the belts of linesmen and
climbers. Choosing from dejected trees is brought above quickly except
where dense brushwood interferes, as it is the case in the all'ordine of the day
Douglas forest of fir.
You plant with trees that grow in the open one, with the great crowns that extend down the
greater part of the bole, is born it gives conic form to more abundantly of the trees
in dense forests, and for this reason that picks up from shed
open growths can be done cheaper than on to cut in fetterses areas. Often
the great quantities of cones can be purchased by farmers that they want
picks up and you deliver them to central points to a stipulated price.
However, when this method has a job frequent examination of
the cones should be done for verifying that they contains the full ones
