IJut you will notice wliiit ;i stioni,' iuid 

 thrifty ;,'rowth they have made. It 

 woukl be impossible for any animal to 

 squeeze through between those trees. 

 Plant the Silver Poplar on the prairie, 

 about two feet apart in the row, and 

 in a few years they would, without 

 .any pruning,', niakean excellent anrl ini 

 passable fence. 



"It suckers very freely.' 



" Yes, but for Manitob;i that is 

 another point in its favor. Where 

 ^o\x want to multiply the number of 

 forest trees as fast as possible you want 



one that is ea.sy of propagation. Plant 

 cuttings merely of this tree, and they 

 will grow with perfect ea.se.'' 



" What do you think of the Lo)n- 

 Ixirdij Po-phir '! " 



" That is another e.vcellent tree for 

 Manitoba. It is a rapid giower, is 

 very hardy, and can be used to great 

 advantage in fence building. Plant 

 the trees, si.\ feet apart, and when tliey 

 aie large enough to bear it, run wires 

 along from tree to tree." 



'• I have seen it used in that way in 

 Ontario to great advantage. I have
