If planted under the proper conditions, 85% 
to 95% of 
Musser Cultured Tree Stock will grow to maturity and re- 
turn an excellent profit on your investment in seedling trees, 
in labor, and in land. 

Four-year-old American Red Pine Plantation. As can be seen, 
practically 100% 
of the Musser Trees planted in this area are maturing. In two more years, Christ- 
mas trees will be thinned from this plantation. 

Constant weeding of seedling trees is necessary to permit full 
development of Musser Tree Stock — a geet sol) task, mec-

There are very few investments involving 
the use of land which are so safe and sure as — 
a tree plantation. It pays in two ways: 
(1) The Christmas tree crop from a given 
planting will begin to return cash to you with- 
in five to seven years. The continuance of the 
Christmas tree market is probably as secure 
as the institution of Christmas itself. The 
Christmas tree is a definite part of American 
life for both child and adult. 
(2) The acute lumber shortage definitely 
shows where the second return comes from 
your plantation. After thinning 75% of your 
planting for the Christmas tree market, (which 
in itself will repay your investment several 
times over), the remaining trees will be left with room to develop to 
full maturity. They will grow into much needed timber which will in- 
crease in value at least $10 per acre per year. Thus a 15-year-old tract 
should be worth $150 per acre, and a fully grown 30-year-old planting, 
$300 per acre. 
We know that these figures are accurate for Musser Cultured Stock, 
because for the past 20 years we have put out plantations on our own 
land, and have verified the facts. Cheap planting stock will not give 
the same returns.
