CROPS FROM TREES 
A surprising number of trees and shrubs ac- 
tually produce. Some rough idea (where possible) 
of the actual rate and value of that production is 
offered here. For more complete figures and sugges- 
tions write your state or federal Dept. of Agricul- 
ture. Needless to say, crops from trees are pro- 
duced with comparatively little of the labor and 
expense required for ordinary farming. 
1. Christmas Trees, Pulpwood, Timber—Here is a 
practical 3-crop plan. 
Cost: Planting 4800 trees to the acre, about $75 for trees 
and $75 for planting. (Say $150). 
Crop A: Christmas Trees. 3600 trees in 10 years, value 
about 50c wholesale. A gross return of $1800. 
Crop B: Pulpwood. 800 trees in 20 years, say 30 cords at 
about $4. A gross return of $120. 
Crop C: Timber. 400 trees left 12 ft. apart for your grand- 
children. Worth in 40 years about $400. an acre at present 
prices. 
A. TIMBER—12 ft. a- 
part (402 to acre).

2. Start a Nursery—lIn the right locality this can profit- 
ably 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. 
3. Fruit Orchards—Still money to be made, in spite of 
pests and competition. (See Pages 37-41). 
4. Grafted Nut Trees. (See Page 36). 
The two best are Black Walnut and Chinese Chestnut. 
A Thomas Walnut should produce $3. in nuts (wholesale) 
the 10th year. Planted 16 to the acre, $48. per acre. In 
another 5 to 10 years this should rise to $150. an acre! And 
no work but one spraying each spring. The trees live for 
centuries. 
Chestnuts are too new in this country for figures, but the 
yield is much greater and earlier than even Walnuts. 
5. Huge Hybrid Blueberries. (See Page 41). 
A bush should produce 2 quarts at 25c (wholesale) its 6th 
year and by the 8th or 9th about $1.00 a year in berries. 
Planted 6 ft. apart (1200 to the acre) you could safely expect 
on good land a gross income of $1200 a year, selling whole- 
sale. Picking costs are high, but hiring all work done, a net 
profit of $600 an acre is actually being made on these. The 
bushes produce for several generations, without care or 
trouble. 
DO YOU OWN LAND NOW PRODUCING NOTHING?
