WHITE. PINE,, continued 
Vnrp^tfrx) ^"^^ beginning to attract the attention of far-sighted and intelligent people. The White 
£. Pine is the most valuable forest tree native to the northeastern United States. It is now 
in greater demand for forest planting than any other tree. We are prepared to meet this demand with a 
large stock of young trees. We will gladly furnish advice on the subject of forest plans, but would 
suggest that those intending to go into this matter get the publications and advice of the forest service 
of the United States Department of Agriculture. The reason that the White Pine has so nearly 
disappeared on Long Island is that the mother trees were cut down, and fire or less valuable trees killed 
' the young seedlings. 
There are profitable forests planted in New England 40 years ago which yield 5 to 6 per cent. Other 
possible uses for land on Long Island may make it too high-priced for timber culture, but the land exists, 
and for much of it timber will reduce the expense of holding, besides being the most beautiful cover. 
Pines, oaks, chestnut and locust will be the mainstay of economic forestry for this region. Large 
country estates are expensive to maintain. Economic forests are the cheapest and most beautiful treat- 
ment for large portions. Nature takes care of them. There is satisfaction in playing the game according 
to the rules. Your experimental forest will teach you and your friends how to keep up the future value 
of industrial and transportation stocks. The best trees are there if the land should be subdivided for 
smaller resident sites. Planting for such sites is an excellent investment and improves the general 
landscape when properly done. 
' The White Pine has limitations. They do not veto it, but show why and how it should be planted 
|)y the thousand. Ice-storms break branches, but not seriously if the lower branches rest on the ground, or
