BETZ TREE NEWS 
It is again our pleasure to present you with the 1940 edition of the 
BETZ TREE NEWS. In the past editions we have given the life-long his¬ 
tory of Mr. Frank S. Betz, of Hammond, Indiana. 
Mr. Betz retired about fifteen years ago from active work. He, at that 
time, was the largest Manufacturer of Surgical Supplies in the United 
States. Mr. Betz has traveled all over the European countries, Asia, and 
Africa several times, and he knew the necessity of trees. He knew about 
the trees that were being slaughtered and wasted throughout the United 
States, and also about the Forest Fires that should be prevented. 
MR. FRANK S. BETZ 
of Hammond, Indiana 
DID YOU KNOW . . . 
That walnut trees will pay off the mortgage on the 
Home or Farm—that black walnut trees will produce the 
finest, the most valuable timber, and at the' same time 
yield quantities of the richest nuts, whose kernels are 
marketed in abundance at a good price?

Attention to Special 
Collections 
Realizing the fact that many people are interested in 
various types of Shrubs and Trees, but quite a number 
do not know the exact variety of plant they want, for 
that reason we are putting in this Bulletin quite a num¬ 
ber of “Collections” and have made the prices very rea¬ 
sonable on them. 
NOTICE—Only the Collections are sold prepaid, and 
all other stock sold F. 0. B. McMinnville, Tennessee.

For many years Mr. Betz put out Bulletins, explaining the 
facts about the destroying of our trees, and encouraged the 
planting of small seedling trees, and for many years the Boyd 
Nursery Company cooperated with Mr. Betz. About two years 
ago Mr. Betz suffered a stroke of paralysis and not being in 
any physical condition to carry on his Tree Business, asked the 
Boyd Nursery Company to keep it going. To the old customers 
of Mr. Betz, I am sure that you understand and recognize the 
name when you first see it, BETZ TREE NEWS. Mr. Betz 
turned his complete mailing list over to us and said, “Keep 
sending these good people the news,” and that is what we are 
attempting to do. 
The TREE NEWS will go to many people. Some are very 
interested in the work and are helping to carry it on; to others 
it is just another advertisement coming in, and will throw it 
into the first waste basket they see; but friends, if you will 
study this, I believe that you will derive a little benefit for the 
few minutes that you spend reading it.
