SCOTCH PINE— 
The seven day wonder in Christmas Trees; the tree that is most 
in demand, and the tree that brings the highest price on the market. 
Imported from Europe, seed has been in short supply since the 
start of the war, resulting in a shortage of seedling and transplant 
trees here. 
It will be several years before we can supply the demand for 
seedlings and transplants and many more years until the grown trees 
will satisfy the market for Scotch Pine Christmas Trees. 
Planted at a rate of 1000 trees per acre, approximately six to 
seven feet each way, they will make more profit on sand land than 
any other crop. If the trees are cut soon as they are large enough 
and branches trained up from stub left at cutting, several crops may 
be harvested from the same planting. 
Christmas Tree Farming is fast coming into its own, and get- 
ting in on the ground floor while the business is young, means more 
profit for the wise man who is the EARLY BIRD. 
Wie If the land is level, shallow furrows can be plowed about six 
feet apart and the trees set in the furrows. If the land is too uneven 
or if loose blow sand, a man can still plant an average of 1000 trees 
a day with shovel or spade.

A considerable number of mechanical tree planters have been 
made, which can, by the help of two or more men, plant 20,000 or 
more trees per day, on fairly level terrain. These machines with 
lanting crew, may be hired at a rate of six to ten dollars per 1000 
trees, price depending on various factors involved. 
A word to the wise is sufficient. We have a good supply of 
tramsplents this season; get your SCOTCH PINE now; we may not 
have enough next year.
