AMERICAN FORESTRY 



THERE is prob- 

 ably nothing 

 that gives so 

 much for so little as 

 does the planting of a 

 tree seed. All you do 

 is plant the seed and 

 for the next half cen- 

 tury, if it' s a fruit tree, 

 you enjoy delicious 

 food prepared by Na- 

 ture's hand. If it is 

 a shade tree you and 

 those who follow you 

 are sheltered from the 

 fierce beating sun and 

 from the dangers of 

 floods, such as are the 

 misfortune of treeless 

 China. 



Thorburn's Tree Seeds 

 are chosen with the ut- 

 most care. They are of 

 exceptionally high stand- 

 ard and their perfection 

 will be apparent to you 

 for generations after you 

 plant them. Thorburn 

 has meant quality for 116 

 years.
