sized stock is more desirable, since they have ornamental value 

 from the time they are planted. Trees from three to five feet 

 in height may be used. However, this size can be handled 

 safely only when balled and burlapped; i. e., with balls of 

 earth bound securely about the roots. 



BROADLEAVED TREES. 



The broadleaved trees are known commercially as "hard- 

 woods" and include all trees not included in the evergreen 

 group. Native trees, such as the elm, ash, oak; cotton wood, 

 bass wood, and maple, are included in this group. . Some of 

 these trees retain their leaves throughout the greater part 

 of the year ; as for example, the holly, magnolia, live oak, and 

 the trees of the tropics. They are seldom referred to as ever- 

 greens, however, and are never grouped as such botanically. 

 The hardiness of the broadleaved trees varies with each species. 

 Many of them are well adapted to eastern Kansas conditions 

 and the hardiest of them grow successfully in western Kansas. 



Because of the great difference in climate between the east- 

 ern and the western part of Kansas, it is necessary to choose 

 trees suited to the section in which they are to be grown. The 

 following lists indicate the species adapted for the different 

 sections of the state.
