DAKOTA COTTONWOOD-POPULUS DELTOIDES. The foundation of prairie tree enltnre in 
North Dakota, and. the backbone of all the many groVes which dot our state. The most rapid grower 
and freest from disease of any of the poplar family, once more the cottonwood is coming into its own

Quick growth both for shelter and wood, and it will produce successive crops of fuel if properly 
handled.

GREEN ASH, is one of our native trees and has come to be regarded as the very hardiest tree un- 
der all conditions that can be planted. It is drought resisimi't* 211 kali resistant* and insect resistant* 
The only injury to which it is at all subjtect is the borer, and the damage from that is rather over¬ 
estimated.

4 Year Old Cottonwoods. 
We have used your seeds often on the old farm near Barlow, N. D., and they were always good. In fact, the first trees 
we set out on the old place when it was all prairie in June, 1900, were 500 Cottonwoods bought, from you. And I went by 
the old farm this spring and most of the trees were still there.
