LEADING AMERICAN DECIDUOUS TREES 
Many larger than advertised. Some grow 5 feet and over yearly. Tests show a 12 or 
4 inch tree will be the same height in 3 years. 
Raised and shipped by the oldest and largest tree growers in this country. 
As it requires as much moss, time, labor and waterproof paper to pack 10 trees as 25, 
the shippers will not accept orders for less than $2. Get your friends to join with you, buy 
an assortment, divide and get the trees for less than you could dig them. 
SPECIAL PRICE ON 2000 TO 50,000 FOR PUPILS, SCOUTS AND 4H CLUBS.

LOUISIAN AN DAILY 
They are over 6 foot high today- In 10 years they will be over 20 and produce millions 
of walnuts for the children. 
If you are a husiness or professional man, order 1000 walnut trees and turn them over 
to your Park Superintendent. Make the children happy and they will make you happy a 
million times later on. 
It took me 3 years to convince the Hammond Park Board that thousands of beautiful 
walnut trees which they could grow for a few cents would be worth more to the children 
for 100 years to come than one tree which cost as mucE, or more. 
“My dear Mr. Betz: , . , 
The 16,000 walnuts purchased from you have developed into trees about 20 inches mgB 
and we will have trees sufficient to plant 75 acres. 
I have observed your activity in reforestation for the past five years. You are doing a 
work that will prove of enduring value. I most heartily commend you and your hobby to all 
those interested in the welfare of our country. 
Very trulv yours, 
HAMMOND, PARK BOARD, (Signed) A. M. Turner, Pres.’’ 
Think of the millions of dollars that could be added too the value of thousands of 
parks in the 27 states in the walnut district if each member of the Kiwanis, Rotary, fzaak 
Walton League and other clubs would each put in 10 cents for 500 or 1000 trees.
