Seedlings and ncereplanre Scientifically Produced 
Under Controlled Conditions 
By FRED MUSSER 
For a number of years our specialists have worked on the development of a perfectly 
balanced seedling tree — that is, a tree with healthier leaves, stronger stems, and, above 
all, a LARGER and STURDIER ROOT SYSTEM. 
1 — By the selection of the finest seed obtainable. 
2 — By the application of scientific methods of seed bed preparation — constant testing 
of soils, making use of all available knowledge in regard to soil texture and chemical 
composition. 
3 — Constant inspection of all seedlings, studying the root development, color, height 
and growth. Every factor in the life of the tree is considered. 
RESULTS — We can proudly offer to our customers a stronger, healthier tree with 
a root system that permits trees to be transplanted with a smaller percentage of loss.
