At upper right Leon McCall and Ansey Anders are replanting a bed of two year old wh'te pine seedlings that have been counted into bundles. They will be spaded from the bed when need ed to fill orders throughout the state. Homer Orr, right, foreman at the nursery, is examining a bed of year old pines mulched for the winter to see that Thursday morning’s low of 18 degrees did no damage. Below is the bundling room, where the small trees are sorted, graded and tied into bundles of 50 ready for shipment. Dwight Brinamann, superintendent of the nursery, was in Raleigh when the pictures were taken. (Times Staff Photos) Holmes Nursery On Crab Creek Highway Contributing To Reforestation Program Background Revealed. One Of Three In State. Great Demand For Seedlings By STAFF WRITER The sign says, “Holmes State Forest Nursery,” and below it spread acres of small beds all cov ered with the same narrow red slats. This project of the division of forestry, N. C. Department of Conservation and Development, is making untold contributions to the future of the state by annually pro viding millions of seedlings for re forestation. < Haven't you heard?

Instead of coming forth with his poem, “Trees,” he may have contributed something even more stirring after being inspired by a tree farm such as this one on the Crab Creek road near the Henderson - Transylvania line. The Holmes Nursery is so impor tant in the conservation practices carried out in the state that few of the taxpayers who are paying for it realize they are really get ting their money’s worth. Until this year there were only two such state-owned tree nur series, but because of the increased demand for seedlings a third is now in the process of being con structed. Charles C. Pettit, state forester for this district said: “The demand has so far exceeded the supply we are planning now to in crease the seed beds planted this spring.” In addition to the Holmes Nur sery, which specializes in seedlings suitable for the western section of the state, there is another serving the Piedmont area at Clayton. The new nursery is located near Golds boro and will grow pines and oth er trees peculiar to the eastern and coastal plains. Holmes nursery was the “baby” of the man for whom it was named. J. S. Holmes, now retired, was one of North Carolina’s best known and loved foresters. He has lived in Raleigh since his retire ment 10 or 12 years ago. It was Mr. Holmes’ idea to es tablish a nursery for the growth of his beloved trees that were so fast being cut and burned over. The site was selected after careful consideration. County Agent Julian Glazener was one of several called in on this consultation and he at tempted to locate the nursery in this county. Much of the work of starting the project and the actual construction 3f the buildings and elaborate irri gation system was done by labor from the local CCC camp. Since its beginnings, however, the nursery has expanded considerably in acre age. The beds now stretch for nearly a quarter mile.
