White Pine 
King of the Forest 
A Rapid Grower. Long Lived. Does Well Everywhere. Makes Perfect Windbreaks, Shelterbelts or 
Screens. A Big Money Saver for Stock or Grain Farmers, 
Orchardists, Poultrymen, Beekeepers. 
A noted Horticulturist in writing about White Pine says: “In the economy of kind 
Providence the White Pine stands in the front rank among our benefactors. The wonder 
is that men do not surround themselves with these faithful sentinels, which in great 
armies would stand guard around their homes, defending them from the fierce storms 
and icy blasts. 
“Take a home on a bleak, windswept plain with no protection and it is a picture of 
desolation. It is bombarded by the storms and the snows swirl around it. There is the 
barn out there in the open. Turn the stock out to water when the cutting north wind is 
below zero and they stand shivering as they drink. The terrible cold eats their flesh 
away. To them winter is a martyrdom. 
“This can all be eliminated by the use of an Evergreen Windbreak, for which White 
Pine is best suited. I have noted, when the hot winds raged, that while fields of corn 
in the open were burned up in August, those places sheltered by Evergreen Windbreaks 
produced good crops. Here, then, are your groves, shelterbelts and Evergreen enclosures. 
Each year gives you protection and comfort till it seems that your home has been 
moved several hundred miles to the south.” 
MASSACHUSETTS—“The White Pine is our most 
valuable tree for windbreaks, and thrives admirably 
in all parts of the state. In this vicinity a tract 
of White Pine between six and seven acres has been 
sold within two years for $4,800.00.” 
Massachusetts Agric. Exp. Sta., 
Amherst, Mass. 
OHIO—“White Pine is our best Evergreen for 
windbreak planting and grows well throughout the 
state. It is a hardy and rapid grower.” 
Edmund Secrest, State Forester, 
Wooster, Ohio. 
CONNECTICUT—“White Pine is native in this 
state and grows well in many different soils. It is 
well adapted to light, sandy, glacial soils, which 
prevail in many parts of the state. In my opinion 
it promises the best results for windbreak purpose.”

New Haven, Conn. 
_ WISCONSIN—“White Pine is a native of Wiscon¬ 
sin. _ It is entirely hardy, and can be grown in any 
section of the state.” University of Wisconsin, 
Madison, Wis. 
MINNESOTA—’’White Pine is one of the fastest 
growing and the most useful of Evergreens for 
windbreak planting. It is a magnificent tree.”
