Wiilow Vitellina 



Siberian Sandthorn 



Siberian Sandthorn, This hardy shrub or hedge plant 

 was introduced by Prof. Hansen of the So. Dak. Experimental 

 Station and has been tested by him for a number of years and 

 has proven entirely hardy. It resembles the Russian Olive some- 

 what in appearance; the foliage being of a silvery coloring, grow- 

 ing dense and compact, making it one of the best plants for a 

 hedge in the Northwest. 



Willow Vitellina. A Russian variety entirely distinct in its 

 habits from the other so-called Russian Willows ; its bark is a 

 golden yellow and quite bright, its branches very slender and fine, 

 growing very compact and making a valuable hedge plant. Its 

 propagation is rapid and it can be sold at a less rate than many of 

 the hedge plants. It is desirable for farm yards and can be used 

 for shelter screens- Should be trimmed at least twice a year. 



Tsuga Canadensis {Hemlock Spruce.) Our most 



graceful native Evergreen, retaining its dark pure green color all 

 winter, its elegance and vigor to extreme age. Unpruned its 

 growth is open, free and drooping; when pruned it becomes 

 very dense. Makes a beautiful specimen tree and a good hedge. 



Thuya Occidentalis (American Arbor Vitae). 



The American Arbor Vitae is one of our best known American 

 Evergreens. The Thuyas as a family embrace many valuable 

 varieties for all purposes. The majority of the Arbor Vitae are 

 hardy and adapt themselves very readily to existing conditions. 

 This variety Thuya Occidentalis is used to a great extent for 

 hedges, being a rapid grower and readily responds to shearing. 

 Its color IS light green 'vith an abundance of foliage, grows conical 

 and compact in shape. 



Evergreen Hedges 



Many are partial to Evergreens for Hedge planting. They are 

 satisfactory in certain locations, but for city planting do not give 

 the satisfaction of the deciduous plants; we recommend such 

 varieties as Hemlock Spuce, (Tsuga Canadensis), Norway 

 Spruce (Picea Excelsa), White Spruce (Picea Alba), Ameri- 

 can Arbor Vitae (Thuga Occidentalis). 



Picea Excelsa {Norway Spruce). This tree is per- 

 haps the most popular member of the spruce family, planters be- 

 ing more familiar with its habits. Norway Spruce is a very fast 

 grower, and is very hardy, adapting itself to almost any and all 

 soils. This tree does very well for specimen planting; it makes a 

 good form with branches drooping to the ground. It is consid- 

 ered valuable when a screen or dark background is desired. 



Vicea Alba {White 

 Spruce). 



A very hardy variety, used large- 

 ly in ornamental groups. Resembles 

 the other members of the Spruce 

 family in its habits or growth. A 

 fairly rapid grower, foliage a light 

 green color.
