Families of pine seedlings from 40 open‐pollinated trees (mother trees) from the interior of British Columbia (B. C.) were inoculated with two spore mixtures, one from the coast and the other from the interior of B. C. The relative susceptibilities of the 40 families to each spore mixture was assessed and narrow sense heritability with respect to disease resistance was estimated. The results are presented and discussed.
