Musser Trees Grow! 
All tree seed is not the same. If the parent tree 
has undesirable qualities, its seed will perpetuate 
those qualities. To be sure of the best obtainable 
seed, we have sent men all over the United States 
to seek out mature, hardy, disease-resistant parent 
trees with straight stems and foliage of rich color. 
We have imported seed picked from selected 
stands of timber in Europe, which have been de- 
veloped through generations to bring out their 
desirable characteristics. 
Such selectivity is costly — yes. But it puts 
meaning into the phrase, “MussER TREES GROW.” 
Root System is Vital 
A young tree with a strong and extensively 
branched, but compact, root system is the tree that 
survives. Good hereditary characteristics through 
selection of seed is the basic requirement — careful 
handling and scientific culture in the nursery is also 
essential. The many additional feeder roots in 
Musser Cultured Tree Stock enable the young tree 
to extract the most food from the soil of your 
planting site. Musser Tree Stock is superior. It will 
survive where inferior planting stock will not.
