acres of land in the United States are lying idle, 
which could be put to work earning. money for 
you by planting them with healthy, selected Musser 
Tree Stock.

If planted under the proper conditions, 85% to 95% of Musser 
Forests Tree Stock will grow to maturity and return an excellent 
profit on your investment in seedling trees, in labor, and in land. 
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 within 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 sec- 
ond return comes from your plantation. After thinning your plant- 

Constant weeding of seedling trees is ‘necessary to permit full 
development of Musser Tree Stock — a painstaking task, neces- 
sarily done entirely by hand.

no cultivation or care. 85% to 95% of planted 
trees grow to maturity. 
3 — Reforested land increases in value at the rate of at 
least $10 per acre per year. Thirty-year-old pine 
timber is worth at least $300 per acre (estimating 
only 300 trees per acre at $1 each). 
4 — Trees can be insured against fire at a nominal rate. 
See your Local Insurance Agent. 
5 —Christmas Trees are a profitable by-product of a 
forest plantation; they are produced by the neces- 
sary thinning of the planting. There is an exceed- 
ingly rich market for Christmas Trees. 
6 — $1000 invested to plant a 50-acre tract will be worth 
at least $15,000 for timber in 25 to 30 years, not 
considering Christmas Tree profits reaped in the 
meantime. 
7 — There are no restrictions on the sale of trees or 
timber grown from Musser Stock. 
8 — Reforested land is practically tax-free in many states.

ing 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 increase in value by 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 25 years we have put out plantations on 
our own land, and have verified the facts. Cheap planting stock will 
not give the same returns.
