Dear Friend: 
Spring, 1940 
This is the tenth year since we started selling small 
evergreen trees by mail, and eighteen years since the first tree seeds 
were planted to start the Western Maine Forest Nursery. 
During this time approximately forty thousand people have 
planted about twenty million trees grown by us. 
You, too, can actually save money and have a lot of fun 
growing your own ornamental trees. There is nothing complicated or 
difficult about it. Just order your trees. When they come, follow 
the simple directions for planting. No special care, equipment, or 
knowledge is neoessary. Keep the weeds away and give the trees a 
little water when they need it and watch them grow. 
A fifteen or twenty cent tree will grow two or three feet 
tall and increase in value to several dollars in three years. 
Many of our customers make a profit selling trees to their 
friends. Others give them away, but they all have fun watching them 
grow. 
You will enjoy it too. Make up your order now. You will 
be more than pleased with the trees when you receive them. 
Sincerely yours 
T. C. Eastman 
P.S. If when you wrote us, you asked questions, and they are not 
answered by a separate letter enclosed with this price list, it is 
because the answers to your questions are already printed in this 
circular.
