COTTONLESS COTTONWOOD. Several years ago in company with Mr Robert 
Wilson of the Great Plains Station at Mandan we made a selection of rnal? tries 
at our nursery which we then cut back 
in order to force them to produce cutting 
wood. Prom those trees we have been 
propagating so that we are now able to 
list cottonwood trees whieh will produce 
no cotton. 4 to 5 ft., each, 35c; 10, $3.00. 
American Elm 
NORTHWEST POPLAR, A hardy, drought 
resistant poplar, native in parts of North 
Dakota and Manitoba. A handsome, 
, , fairly fast growing tree, useful as an 
ornamental in addition to its value in wind-break and shelter 
belt planting. Perhaps the most drought resistant of any of the 
poplars; in appearance it is intermediate between the cotton- 
$600 and Balm ° f Gilead - 3 4 ft., each, 15c; do*., $1,50; 50, 
SILVER-LEADED POPLAR, A very rapid grower with smooth 
gray bark. The deeply lobed leaves are a dark 
glossy green on their upper side and snowy un¬ 
derneath. The contrast of the white against the 
green is distinctive. We offer a stock of choice 
2% to 3 ft. trees. Each, 30c; 10, $3.75.
