EVERYTHING IN HARDY SEEDS AND NURSERY STOCK • 35 
SHADE TREES 
We take great pains in growing our nursery stock and 
while we cannot always compete in price with the eastern 
and southern nurseries, we know that our northern grown 
strains prove so much more satisfactory and live longer. 
Our nurseries are located on high prairie land and it takes 
us longer to grow out a tree or shrub but when we send it 
out we know for a certainty they will stand up better, being 
grown under similar conditions where they will be trans¬ 
planted to. 
Hardiness is the first thing to consider in buying nursery 
stock. An eastern or southern strain will winter-kill here. 
We tried that out years ago in Box Elders, Elms, ete. It is 
money thrown away buying such nursery stock. All trees, 
5 at the 10 rate. Transplanted with good root system.
