PLANT CHRISTMAS TREES FOR PROFIT 
Turn Pennies into Dollars While You Wait 
It's easy to make a good income growing my 
Guaranteed-to-Live Christmas Trees. 
Frankly, I don’t know of any other crop that will 
give you such big returns for so small an investment 
of time and money. You can plant from 500 to 1000 
trees in a day. From then until time to cut them for 
market, you needn't do another thing for them — 
unless you wish to prune them occasionally so 
they'll have the perfect shape that brings top prices. 
It's easy to turn a few unused acres into real income- 
producers. Compare the cash return from Christmas 
Trees with any other crop. I think you'll agree — 
Christmas Trees are the way to make farming pay! 
Of course, the sooner you set in your plantation ol 
Evergreens, the sooner you'll have the cash return 
they bring. 
The traditional favorites are Balsam and Douglas Fir, 
Norway and White Spruce. A newcomer in the 
market is the pine, which grows more popular each 
year. Scotch Pine is the favorite of the pine varieties 
due to the fact that it holds its needles longer than 
the spruces or firs. Its sturdy branches are espe- 
cially suitable for bearing decorations. It thrives on 
stony, hilly land and flourishes in all climates. 
Christmas trees can be grown on land ordinarily 
unprofitable for farming. In fact, any land that is 
well drained and free from large vegetation will 
grow Christmas trees. Waste land is wasted oppor- 
tunity. And it's a wonderful feeling to realize that 
the old abandoned pasture or the unused fields are 
hard at work for you again — growing a crop which 
will mean cash at Christmastime.
