Profits from Trees and Shrubs 
I N these days of dubious investments nothing is sure. Trees and shrubs provide a source of income for the 
future in various ways on a basis that compares favorably with other business. They are permanent and 
their product is basic—not subject to variable demand. As compared with ordinary farming, the cost of up¬ 
keep and preparing a yearly crop is incomparably lower—almost nothing in many cases. There is no plow¬ 
ing, seeding or (usually) cultivation. Here are some suggested ideas: 
1. Growing pulpwood. (See page 6) 
2. Growing timber. (See page 6) 
3. Christmas Trees. (See page 6) 
4. Start a Nursery—In the right locality this can 
profitably be done, in two ways:— 
a—Local nursery of choice kinds, 
b—Growing selected kinds for wholesale sales. 
We will gladly help you prepare proper lists 
and quote prices. 
5. Fruit Orchards—Still money to be made, in spite 
of pests and competition. (See pages 40, 41) 
6. Grafted Nut Trees—New but already producing 
results. (See page 42) 1000 Hardy Walnuts should 
return a net income of $3,000. the 10th year, in¬ 
creasing up to $10,000. a year! (One tree produced 
$100. in a year.) 
7. Huge New Blueberries—Fancy fruit brings fancy 
prices. You can make a nice living from one acre! 
8. Grapes for wine and juice. A vineyard pays well. 
New varieties, page 39. 
9. Trees for Stock Farms. See next page, bottom left. 
DO YOU OWN LAND NOW PRODUCING NOTHING? 
We suggest that in the above list, there are five production schemes that require absolutely no cultiva¬ 
tion of any kind whatsoever, and yet will pay good dividends over a period of years. They are Num¬ 
bers 1, 2, 3, 6 and 9. In each case, just plant the trees and leave them! 
Little Bits of Sugar for the Birds 
Why Attract Birds? How Attract Birds? 
1. For their own sake. Beauty of feather and song. 
2. They are nature’s simple remedy for insect pests. 
3. Orchardists can prevent damage to fruit, if they 
provide native berries which birds prefer. 
1. Don’t keep cats. (Or bell them.) 
2. Provide a water supply in the form of a shallow 
pool or basin. (Change water daily if in basin.) 
3. Plant shrubs and trees for protection and food in 
season. The list below gives an intelligent selection.
