If you own idle land, consider establishing a planned forest plantation. Reap short-term cash profits and at the same 
time found an estate which will gain value of at least $10 PER ACRE PER YEAR. After thinning 50% of your plan- 
tation for (1) ORNAMENTAL STOCK and (2) CHRISTMAS TREES, there still remains a fine growing stand of (3) TIMBER. 
Seedling and Transplant Stock 
The market for evergreen ornamentals is steady and 
prices are always good. Transplant stock from this list can 
be grown in a few years into highly marketable specimens. 
Special care or cultivation is not required. Ornamentals 
are simply included in your plantation and their removal 
for sale at various ages is a part of the natural thinning 
process. Most plantations have varied soils suitable for a 
number of species. 
The popular ornamentals listed in this catalogue — 
spruce, hemlock, yew, juniper, arborvitae and most pines 
(with pruning) — will develop into desirable specimens. 
yA Christmas Trees 
Planted Christmas trees are a profitable and rapidly 
growing business. Full details are given on pages 21, 22 
and 23. Planted at relatively close intervals, 50% may be 
removed for sale as Christmas trees or ornamentals, and 
still leave enough trees to develop a good stand of timber. 
Pines planted in variety bring the quickest return for both 
Christmas trees and timber. Spruces are slower growing 
but are desirable for both purposes.

<M Timber © 
Land planted to timber will never become impover- 
ished. From an investment standpoint, it will increase in 
value at least $10.00 per acre per year. In most states, it 
is practically tax free. It is excellent insurance for your 
estate. Remember — “Good Timber Is Getting Scarce!” 
In addition to the relatively quick cash return from 
Christmas tree and/or ornamental stock, consider
