The harvest 'of- Christmas trees in .the Maritimes is expected to be down 10 per cent this year, while sales of artificial trees, which can be folded up and put away for next year, likely will be double that of 1959. The artificial Christmas tree is heading for record volume this sea» son, likely double that of 1959. "We have already sold more than we did all last year and the seasonal rush has yet to come," one distributor told FP. Retailers and distributors are stocking the plastic and aluminum nevem before. This year, chain variety stores likely will promote them harder, along with department stores which• have been the major out- lets so far, Supermarkets are also handling them. "The upward trend is terrific," a spokesman for Noma Lites Ltd., says. Noma, a major Canadian manufacturer of Christmas decor- ations, jumped into artificial trees last year for the first time. Now it is battling U.S, and Ger- man imports and observers say it is winning the big market share. Noma, noting that the trade "un- derestimated the market' ' last year, is worried that it may do the same again this season. Department store mail-order cat- alogues are splashing the trees heavily. They offer green visca trees in the $4-$12 range, flocked (pink or white) trees for $5.50 to $13, aluminum trees for $5-$22. An off -beat item is a "tiny tots tree kit" for home assembly— with artificial tree, tinsel and lights. Big advantage for householders is than the trees can • be folded away compactly for re -use. On this basis, the prices are competitive with natural trees. Noma Lites will begin its big promotion of the trees this month. The inroads of the artificial pro- duct are having an impact on growers and distributors of the real thing. The 15,000 Maritimers who har- vest 'atm Christmas money each year by cutting Yule trees at $15 a day expect a drop in their 1960 take. Best estimates are the cut will be 72 .million trees down 10 per cent from last year's eight million but still enough to supply about 20 per cent of the North American market. New Brunswick will send about 4.1 million trees, mostly balsam firs and white spruces, to market this season while Nova Scotia will supply 3.1 million.

Two reasons for the decline are; Rapidly expanding acceptance of artificial trees. Plantation growing of Christmas trees in the U.S. U.S. growers are cultivating trees in the hopes of wresting the rick domestic market from Canadian suppliers. They hope particularly to smash the virtual Maritime monopoly on sales -in New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania.

Company ships by the trainload, purchasing trees in most growing areas of New Brunswick and load- ing them at Moncton, Saint John, Sussex, Fredericton, Newcastle, Edmundston, Bathurst and Camp- bellton. The company says New Bruns- wick farmers could double their cash income from Christmas trees, despite the inroads of artificial decorations. if they would im=prove their woodlot management tech- niques and do more selective cut- ting. There will be n8 shortage of wild trees in the Maritimes for many years.

U.S. grading regulations are in effect on all trees crossing the border. To conform New Bruns- wick invoked mandatory licensing last year and established a volun- tary grading system.
