Dear Friend: 
Thank you for your inquiry regarding LIVE, midget Ming Trees. You have 
just taken the first step for the thrill of your life! I enclose the literature 
that will show you how to get more enjoyment from the work of your hands -- 
how to win the admiration of your friends -- how to beautify your home with 
an art of nature -—- how to make more money .... 
You stand to gain a great deal, probably much more than you expect, by 
reading every word of this literature carefully -- very carefully. You will 
find it hard to believe that here is available to you a business idea so 
perfect in results, so simple to achieve, so beautiful and fascinating as 
a hobby that you will instantly know why the Japanese rulers and gardeners 
guarded this secret so jealously throughout the centuries. 
And yet it does NOT require one cent of any investment to continue in 
this fascinating work, Now at long last you'll be able to do something 
without buying a lot of expensive equipment or supplies -- without devoting 
a lot of your time to it -- without heart breaking experimenting -—- without 
long, tedious hours study of instruction courses -- without worry over the 
shortages or high prices of your material or over space in which to work..... 
NO -— you'll have none of that. You have nothing to continually buy —— 
your unused window sill can provide your work space. All you have to do is 
put seed into a little ground -- even seed from the fruit you eat -- or the 
seed that I give you -- take care of it as I carefully explain to you --- 
and mother nature will do the rest for you. She won't disappoint you but 
instead richly reward you with a coveted, rich prize! 
For many years people have paid up to fifty dollars and more for imitations 
of these live, living trees. You've seen them yourself. They are called Ming 
Trees but actually they are mere decorations -- imitations. They are made from 
painted materials -- nothing more than dust collectors -- BUT, how much more 
beautiful -- how much more desireable "THE REAL THING!" Not just an imitation-- 
but a genuine, honest—to-goodness LIVE, LIVING MING TREE! Do you see the picture? 
Right now, more than ever before, this is a vital, new, booming phase of the 
gardening -—- particularily indoor gardening field. It's going to put millions 
of dollars into the pockets of men and women. 
You may want to grow your tree -- or many trees -—- only for a choice piece 
to enhance the beauty of your home or the centerpiece on a table, fireplace, 
piano or other part of your home -—- either way, it will be the center of all 
attraction.... or you may want to grow these trees for profit..... 
eee once you get started -- you'll find more ways than you dreamed 
possible in which to cash in on your trees. True, you can sell these trees 
for really fabulous prices -- but they are valuable also as RENTAL PIECES.
