TUNG OIL TREES 
Plant tung trees for beauty, shade and profit. 
The magic tree of the South—one of the fast- 
est-growing. Its growth is almost as phenomenal 
as the growth of the whole Tung industry. In 
10 years it has mounted to a $30,000,000 business. 
Tung oil and cattle are a paying farm combin- 
ation. Cattle do well in Tung orchards. 
A tree which will start to give you a crop 
in the third year. Ideal for cut-over land and 
improves value of land. 
We recommend planting 15’x30’ which will 
average 100 trees per acre. This is recommend- 
ed by the government experts. 
Tung oil is essential in many American in- 
dustries. Jt is one of the most important (prod- 
ucts) used in the manufacture of paints, varn- 
ishes, enamels, linoleum, plastics, inks, water- 
proof coatings, and thousands of other commercial 
uses, and is used also by the Army, Navy and 
Air Force for coating equipment. 
A great amount of research is being con- 
ducted and new uses are being found which are 
of great importance and strategic value. 
A tung tree in bloom is one of nature’s great- 
est displays of sheer beauty. Many visitors come 
from all over the country to the tung belt to’ 
see our beautiful orchards in bloom. 
The tung tree is an ornamental tree. It is 
an ideal tree to plant also in your yard for shade 
and beauty, the cleanest and healthiest tree you 
can plant, with a broad heart-shaped leaf. The 
foliage is retained until the first heavy frost.
