38 SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES. 
STATE NURSERY CO. 
A BLOCK OF TREES IN OUR NURSERY. 
Shade and Ornamental Trees 
State Nursery grown trees are emblematic of the very best 
of what the Northwest can produce and the numerous un- 
sohcited testimonals we receive bear out that fact. Our lo- 
cation is ideal, with soil, that gives all our trees the one essen- 
tial requirement, a good strong fibrous root. 
Our trees are being planted for parking not only by private 
persons but by many of the cities throughout the State. 
The ideal packing is our specialty, the trees reaching you 
in practically the same condition as when they were dug. All 
the trees are wrapped the full length in burlap and the roots 
completely covered with wet moss. 
For shipping facilities we lead! If any stock will grow 
in Montana it is ours. 
We guarantee all stock true to name, but accept no re- 
sponsibility other than replacing, in case we make one of 
those errors which creep into every busy season. 
It is always advisable to ship nursery stock by express 
because of their reaching you much more quickly than by 
frciflht. It costs a I idle more but it will pay yon. Large 
shipments ive are compelled to send by freight, but these 
shipments arc packed with unusual precaution as to the 
wrapping and moistening of the roots. 
Seed Trial Ground. 
Our seed trial ground is adjoining our Nursery 
grounds. They both have the advantages of a 
high altitude. The main divide of the Rocky 
Mountains in background of the photo gives you a 
splendid idea as to the climatic conditions under 
which such a location will brin^ and the conse- 
quent effect on the hardiness of o \ Nursery stock.
