White Fine Windbreak 
This Windbreak protects a hug-e barn in the foreground not shown in picture. In 
conversation with the owner, who entertained me at his home last summer, he said: “I 
consider that Windbreak the best profit maker on my farm.” 
White Pine 
King of the Forest 
Thoroughly satisfactory for Iowa, Minnesota and all states east of the Mississippi. 
The ONE best pine for all New England States. Rapid grower, long lived. 
Makes perfect Windbreaks, Shelterbelts, Screens, Woodlots. 
The White Pine is without question the best all around tree of the entire Pine 
family for planting in the states east of the Mississippi. On account of its rapid 
growth, value as windbreak, shelterbelt and screen, varied uses on the farm, and ease 
of planting, this tree is the most successful conifer of the northern and eastern 
states. It is not fastidious in its requirements and grows under the greatest variety 
of climate and soil conditions. 
As a windbreak, White Pine has no superior. It grows thick and compact, 
forming an absolute barrier to winds and storms. Being a rapid grower, it soon 
gives good protection. It is thoroughly hardy and is impervious alike to extremes 
of heat or cold.

this tree can be successfully grown on prairie soil. 
It grows better in Illinois than any other pine and 
makes excellent shelterbelts.”
