For a long time only the very wealthy could enjoy these beautiful trees because as 
the LIFE MAGAZINE a little over a year ago pointed out in a picture story, these 
trees brought from $250 to $1500 each! The HOME MAGAZINE (Sunday supplement 
of the.Los Angeles Times) recently told the story of Miniature Dwarf Trees and 
their increased popularity but again the high cost of the trees limited this to the 
wealthier class of folks. 
Among the first in America to recognize the enchantment of live miniature 
dwarf trees was the late movie idol, John Barrymore who discovered them in Japan 
and immediately imported a large number at a fabulous price for his personal Cali- 
fornia estate. 
If you saw the recent movie: ‘“‘Tokyo Joe”’ starring Humphrey Bogart, you will 
perhaps recall that a large number of these miniature trees were used throughout 
the entire movie for decorative effects. 
Now the picture has changed. For the first time this rare secret is available to 
you (which is fully protected by United States Copyright). From it you can easily 
grow your own trees. Each step is simply explained to you so even a child can 
proceed. 
Naturally a secret of this nature is valuable and if it was sold for its true worth 
—few could afford it—just as so few can afford the already grown trees—but we have 
remedied this. 
In the interest of nature loving people—for people who really appreciate and en- 
joy the natural things, we have made up a limited number of copies and by keeping 
the expense down have made it possible for you to obtain this rare secret at minimum 
cost. This low price is possible only because we have eliminated expensive printed 
folders and large advertising which must be paid for by someone. By writing to you 
direct without expensive literature, we have saved three fourths of the cost. This 
saving has simply been passed on to you thus making it easier for you to enjoy the 
luxury of your own dwarf trees. 
We do ask one thing. Bear in mind that miniature trees are now very valuable 
because of their rarity and if you, in turn, would give this rare secret to everyone 
you came in contact with—then soon everyone would grow their own trees and these 
trees would no longer be a novelty. That is the reason we are limiting the sale of 
these formulas and ask that you keep your copy of the secret to yourself. Sell all the 
trees you wish—but don’t tell anyone how it is done. Thus you will help protect the 
rarity of the trees and help maintain a high value on them. 
Needless to say—if you have any foresight—we need not tell you what this op- 
portunity may mean to you. It means you can be FIRST. It means you can get in on 
the ground floor of a new business that you can get into WITHOUT ANY INVEST- 
MENT-—all you need to get started is some seeds and a little dirt! 
Even if you have no desire to profit from this tremendous opportunity—think of 
the beauty you can add to your own home! One tree alone will be worth many times 
over the cost of this rare secret. 
Now then, what will you do? You can forget all about it and then at some future 
time when you admire a miniature dwarf tree at someone else’s home wish that you 
had taken advantage of the opportunity—or you can get right down to business— 
RIGHT NOW~—and send your order in for your copy of the secret: ‘HOW TO GROW 
LIVE, MINIATURE DWARF TREES AT HOME.” 
Remember the number of copies is positively limited. Be first—send for your 
copy NOW.
