'Seeds of Pine' is an adventure novel written during the Settlers era by Janey Canuck, a penname of Emily Murphy. Written in first-person, it tells the story of a female homesteader in Canada. She is not particularly content with her life and the place she finds herself in as can be seen from her thoughts on the matter: "The new steel trail the railway men are laying from Edmonton leads away and away, I cannot say whither. For these many days I have had an anxious desire to follow it and the glories thereof. I am tired of this town and of the electrical devices that appear and re-appear in the darkness like eyes that open and shut—wicked eyes that burn their commercial message into my very soul. I am sick of these saucy, swaggering streets and of sundry of the townspeople. Come you with me and let us travel down the ways through the heart of the summer! We shall have breeze and sun in our eyes, and breeze and sun in our hearts. If you like not the prospect, pray, come no further, for we be contrary the one to the other and no way-fellows."

Guidelines for Producing Quality Longleaf Pine Seeds by James P. Barnett Pdf
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) seeds are sensitive to damage during collection, processing, treatment, and storage. High-quality seeds are essential for successfully producing nursery crops that meet management goals and perform well in the field. Uniformity in the production of pine seedlings primarily depends on prompt and uniform seed germination, early seedling establishment, and a variety of cultural practices that are applied as the seedlings develop. The best collecting, handling, and processing methods maximize performance attributes and reduce the need for extensive nursery cultural practices to compensate for poor seed quality. Guidelines are presented that will help seed dealers, orchard managers, and nursery personnel produce high-quality longleaf pine seeds and improve the efficiency of nursery production.
Describes a prototype whitebark pine seed scarifier developed by the Missoula Technology and Development Center that allows workers to nick (scarify) seeds three times as fast as if they were doing so by hand, with reduced risk of injury. Populations of whitebark pine have declined over the past century because of white pine blister rust, insect infestations, and fire suppression. Whitebark pine seeds are a favored food of the grizzly bear, a threatened species protected by the Endangered Species Act in the 48 contiguous States. Whitebark pine trees, which may be the only trees growing in some sub-alpine and alpine areas of the northern Rocky Mountains, also catch snow during the winter. The drifts melt more slowly than thinner snowpack in bare areas, extending runoff. The scarifier should help reduce the costs of growing whitebark pine seedlings, possibly allowing more whitebark pines to be planted. Seeds collected from white-bark pine trees resistant to blister rust are germinated in nurseries. The germination rate increases from about 5 percent to 60 percent or more if each seed has a 1-mm-deep nick. Workers can nick about 400 seeds an hour by hand, compared to 1,500 seeds an hour when using the prototype scarifier. The scarifier costs about $1,000 to fabricate. Fabrication drawings will be available from the Missoula Technology and Development Center.
