Dear Professor Leopold: 
I am in receipt of your letter of November 13 
regarding the red cedar. 
I see no reason why you could not exchange 2-2 
pines received from us for red cedar from another nursery. 
Your plantings are not ornamental, but apparently are made 
for a dfinite forestry and game cover program. 
I understand that the Soil Conservation Service 
nursery located at Winona, Minnesota grow a considerable quant- 
ity of red cedar every year. 
If the red cedar is valuable from a fence post and 
game cover standpoint, I believe Mr. Harrington will approve its 
production here in our nursery 
I recently talked with Professor Riker of the Pathology 
division, and he mentioned a rather destructive disease that 
was becoming rather prominent on the red cedar. 
The species handles rather nicely in the nursery. If 
fall seeded it usually germinates satisfactory. I believe it 
should no doubt be grown to a 4 year old transplant.
