Believing that people who must collect tree seed would be interested in new developments in tree climbing equipment, we present two articles on the subject. These are: We Need Better Seed Collecting Equipment - Keith W. Dorman; Ladders as an Aid to Seed Collection - A. J. Carmichael. In addition to these articles we call to your attention the excellent information on ladders, tree pruners, and tree-workers tools in general given in Proceedings of the National Shade Tree Conference, Syracuse, New York, August, 1950.
