RUSSIAN OR WILD OLIVE 
Elengrnud Augrufttlfuliu 
The accompanying half tone was made from a photograph taken in South 
Beatrice late this season and does not convey the real beauty of its light silvery 
foliage. This specimen stands fully thirty feet high and was planted only ten years 
ago when It was only about four feet high. The tree is generally a rapid and some- 
what irregular grower, but can be easily trained to symmetrical form. The blos- 
soms have a remarkably strong sweet fragrance, and are sought for by those who 
know them for this one quality especially. The tree transplants readily and is per- 
fectly hardy. Good specimens are growing near Winnipeg, Manitoba. This tree 
was brought here thirty years ago from Russian by German emigrants (Mennonltes), 
and the principal reason this tree has not been more extensively planted has been 
the difficulty of getting a sufficient stock of trees in the nursery to Justify special 
advertising.
