This class of trees need to be taken up very early in the spring, and imme- 
diately planted with as little exposure to the sun and wind as possible in order to 
insure success. 
Deciduous Trees. 
Deciduous trees, those whose leaves fall in autumn, are more largely planted 
than any other on the western prairies, fgr shelter, belts and windbreaks. The 
fastest growing varieties are usually selected, while the slowest growers and con- 
sequently the longest livers should claim the greatest attention. A few quick 
growing kinds for immediate use should be planted in all collections. 
As a class, these trees with their ever varying tints of green and yellow foliage 
often contrasted with the evergreen add much of beauty and variety to the scen- 
ery. The care bestowed on digging, planting and cultivating trees of all classes, 
is of vast importance to the present as well as future generations, and we can 
but commend the action of our State Forestry Association in telling the people 
what and how to plant, and what protection, care and cultivation to give. The 
' most of the following varieties are easily obtained, either in the forests or nurse- 
ries of our state :
