Mr. Frank S. Betz, of Hammond, Indiana, who for fifteen years has been so successful in selling 
his idea of reforestation to countries all over the world, has retired from active business and wants the 
Boyd Nursery Co. to continue this wonderful work which he has built to such fine proportions. 
Last January Mr. Betz suffered a stroke of paralysis which made it necessary for him to give up the work in which he is so 
vitally interested. As The Boyd Nursery Co. has been filling most of his orders for trees for the past several years, he has now 
turned his entire business over to us with the desire that we take up the torch and continue this wonderful cause for which he 
has labored for so many years—that of planting trees to save our land from erosion and to make this fine country of ours a better 
one for the millions of children now growing up. With this hope in his heart, Mr. Betz has turned over to The Boyd Nursery 
Co. his entire nursery business, w'ith all orders and correspondence. He is deeply grateful for the splendid cooperation and in¬ 
terest which he has received from his thousands of friends and customers for so many years and it is his earnest desire that they 
continue their efforts and interest with The Boyd Nursery Co., just as they have done with him. 
Since his early youth, Mr. Betz has realized the vital importance of planting tree seeds and young trees to prevent our gullied 
farmlands from washing away and to preserve our forests as a ^onstant and valuable source of timber and revenue for coming gen¬ 
erations. 
Working in lumber camps and mills, he was distressed by the ruthless waste and slaughter of timber and realized that the 
only way to save our trees was to plant seeds and young trees to take the place of those being cut. In 1895, he started a business 
of his own, manufacturing instruments and material for use in the medical and surgical professions. By selling the best quality 
of goods in his line at the lowest prices possible, he soon built this business up to a strong and successful company, the largest 
medical manufacturing industry in the world. When he retired in 1914, his instruments were being shipped to markets in every 
land — to Persia, to India, to Africa, to China, Japan, England and her far-flung colonies, to all of Europe, Asia, South America 
and North America. After retiring from active management of this large business, Mr. Betz was free to travel to all of these 
distant lands in which his instruments were being sold. He visited them all, learning of the people, their history and customs and 
the conditions under which they lived. In many of these lands, he found a distressing lack of trees. Countries which once had 
been liberally forested were now bare, with soil washing away to the sea and no shade for either the people or the cattle. Fired 
with the determination to do all in his power to correct this condition wherever it was found, he returned to the United States and 
began shipping, at his own expense, thousands of seeds and seedling trees to lands where they were most needed. Today, in the 
United States and in distant lands, these trees stand as living monuments to Mr. Betz and his glowing desire to save the soil and 
to rebuild the woodlands of the world. 
Through our many years association with Mr. Betz, our dealings have been most pleasant and satisfactory and it is our sin¬ 
cere desire to extend to his many customers, this same courteous service and cooperation which has characterized our years of con¬ 
tact with him. Our high quality of nursery plants speaks for itself in the satisfaction which it gives to you and our experience of 
many years in growing and handling seeds, trees and plants of all kinds is cordially offered to you at all times. The Boyd Nur¬ 
sery Co. is most eager to continue the fine spirit of friendliness and cooperation which Mr. Betz has built up among his thousands 
of customers during his fifteen years of service. Call on us for your nursery needs.
