Wm. Penn Oaks (My Introduction) 
Quercus Alba Q. Macrocarpa 
White Burr or mossy cup 
History of These Oaks 
First selection, a survey was made of the Wm. Penn 
white oaks within 40 miles of Downingtown, our country- 
side is full of them. Selection was made on— 
Nicest timber type tree—the best flavored acorn, fewest 
worms in acorns, heavy bearing. 
Step two—Rapidity of growth of seedlings in seed beds— 
in 2 year seedlings, from one parent made 4-6 inch growth, 
from another 12 to 14 inches in growth. We’ve now dis- 
carded ALL but the best seed parents. 
These are the “‘corn fields of the future.” When man 
grows up to use what he has, he’ll Oak a mountain ridge, 
a hill-side, a rocky knoll. 
According to production figures of bearing oaks a low 
of 274 bus. of corn per acre in hog food value can be 
grown on mts. and steep slopes. You can start YOUR 
future tax reduction by planting NOW? 
Many people insist on a black or red oak. THE WHITE 
is JUST as beautiful as either in the autumn with the 
addition of—the BEST oak timber and the BEST acorn 
for feeding. 
THE BURR stands out as a brunette in the landscape, 
dark, heavy large leaved, deep green foliage. Another 
attraction is their remarkably rapid growth AND corky 
bark on branches. Timber good, acorns large and sweet.
