Are a cash crop requiring no cultivation 
or extra care. 
Are always at the top of the Christmas 
tree market. 
Will increase the value of a property if it 
is being held for resale. 
Act as a savings account with a high rate 
of interest. 
Pay for a college education for your 
children if started early and properly 
managed. 
Transplanting 
Stock is transplanted in our nurseries from one 
to four or more times. Each time, the longer, more 
easily damaged roots are reduced so that more small 
feeder roots develop near the stem. The more 
feeder roots, the more quickly the tree is established 
on your land. Also, the resulting compact mass of 
small feeder roots makes the tree easier to plant. 
Each year, in the spring and summer, we trans- 
plant hundreds of thousands of seedlings to build 
more feeder roots. Results prove extra cost is repaid 
many times over. 
Cuttings and Grafts 
To reproduce exact qualities desired in stock of 
a certain species, Musser Forests propagates by 
cuttings or grafts. 
ROOTED CUTTINGS are small branches from 
perfect specimen trees, rooted in our greenhouses 
under controlled conditions of fertility, moisture 
and temperature. In cases where a species will not 
root from cuttings... 
GRAFTS are produced by introducing cuttings 
of the desired quality into hardy root stock of a 
related species. Grafting is a complicated cultural 
process covering some months.
