BUCKTHORN (Rhamnus Catharticus) 



We consider Buckthorn the best and hardiest hedge plant for the 

 Northwest and extreme colder sections of the country. It stands 

 the coldest Winters without a particle of injury, commences growth 

 very early in the Spring. The dark foliage-masses of this dense, 

 twiggy bush are relieved by masses of attractive white flowers in 

 June and July. They are followed by showy black fruits. Prices by 

 express onlv, not prepaid, select strong plants 18 to 20 in. high $7.50 

 per 100, 20 to 24 in. high $10.00 per 100. 



JAPANESE ROSE HEDGES (VosD 



Roses are coming to be more and more popular as people learn 

 about the splendid qualities of the Regosa or Japanese Roses for this 



Eurpose. They make neat, compact, uniform growth and the thick, 

 ushy mass of glossy, crinkled foliage gives a particularly fine ap- 

 pearance. They are perfectly hardy in the coldest Winters and are 

 especially valuable because the foliage is never troubled with either 

 ilisects or disease. Our new Hybrid varieties, Agnes Emily Carman and 

 Sir Thos. Lipton, bloom all Summer, (see page 144 for full descrip- 

 tion.) Price by express, not prepaid, $3.00 per doz. for strong 2 yr. 

 old plants. 



The Catalpa is one of the hardiest and most easily transplanted 

 of all our common trees. Any soil that will grow farm crops will 

 grow Catalpa trees. An acre of Catalpa trees properly cultivated 

 and cared for. will take no more labor than an acre of corn, and after 

 three years this acre is growing into more value each year than an 

 acre of corn, with no labor at all. There are thousands of farmers who 

 own from 80 to 300 acres of land who are struggling along in debt 

 carrying mortgages who could plant five to ten acres to Catalpa trees, 

 and after seven years, sell the timber for enough to pay off the mort- 

 gage. All authorities agree that timber and all lumber products 

 must continue advancing in price, owing to the growing scarcity of 

 the timber supply. The Ohio Experimental Station is doing a great 

 work by encouraging the planting of true Catalpa Speciosa trees in 

 nearly every County in the State, and in their late report show one 

 grove that has made over 3,000 fence posts per acre at twenty years 

 of growth. These posts are worth, wholesale, twenty cents each, and 

 this brings the value of the timber on an acre to $600.00. Think of it. 

 $30.00 per acre for each year your trees are growing, with very little 

 labor, and no worrying each year about getting the crops in on time, 

 nor hustling to save it when grown. No worrying over the hired-help 

 problem — just quietly allowing nature to work for you. As a tree 

 for road-side planting, and in places where .stock run, the Catalpa is 

 the best possible tree to plant, because cattle and horses do not like 

 the leaves or bark. It is of great importance that land-owners see 

 the need to plant trees and the sure profit to come from this work 

 Few people realize the real cash value added to a farm that has beau- 

 tiful groves and avenues of trees. The protecting influences of even 

 a small grove of trees from the cold Winter winds are truly remark- 

 able, and there is no reason why every farm should not have shelter- 

 ing groves or belts of timber. Start a grove of Catalpa trees this yeai 

 and you will be more than pleased with the result. Nearly every 

 farm has .some waste land that could be used for this purpose. Special
