, EVIMJGREENS. 65 



at the mercy of all the storms tliat rage. The poor cattle 

 aud horses, when turned out to drink, how they shiver. Tlie 

 cold gets into their marrow bones. IIow intensely they sutfer 

 under the keen torture of those piercing winds. It is simply 

 cruelty, doubly distilled, to thus neglect those dependent on 

 a man for his protection. 



HERE IS HIS NEIGHBOR. 



How cosily his home is sheltered by that beautiful grove 

 of evergreens which throws itts protecting arms around the 

 barn also. The storm king is defeated. His attacks are pow- 

 erless. A splendid grove of pine windbreaks seems to have 

 moved the farm barn three-hundred miles to the south. You 

 have two different countries, two distinct conditions with 

 only a line fence between them. 



In buying evergreens, always get of your nearest nursery- 

 men if possible. He has an interest in you and in the trees 

 he entrusts to your care. Your success is his, also. He is 

 not getting very rich out of the business, his work is largely 

 one of benevolence. If it had not been for our enterprising 

 nurserymen, what a dreary world we would have. 



For further information along this line send 25 cents to 

 the Experiment Station, York, Nebraska, for the evergreen 

 book, which gives the result of thirty-five j^ears' experience in 

 the trying climate of the West. 



President Green : If there are no questions to be asked 

 Mr. Harrison the meeting will stand adjourned until tomor-

 row morning promptly at :30 we will meet here for an auto- 

 mobile ride about the city ; we will go out to Mr. Dole's green- 

 houses and to the German ^Nurseries and other points of 

 interest. Everybody should be here promptly at 9 :30.
