NORTHERN SEED AND NURSERY CO., IPSWICH, S. D 
SHADE TREES—Continued 
LINDEN or BASSWOOD— This is a handsome 
lawn and shade tree, pyramidal in form with 
large, bright green leaves. 3 to 4 feet, each 
35c; per 10, $3.00. 
WILD BLACK CHERRY— Native ornamen¬ 
tal as well as useful. Small black cherries 
good for jelly and the birds. A rapid, tall 
growing tree. 3 to 4 feet, each, 35c; per 10, 
$3.00. 
Evergreens 
There is not a tree as useful as the evergreen. 
When fully grown it is a protection in the sum¬ 
mer against hot winds and in the winter from 
icy blasts, a comfortable tree for man and beast. 
Our prices are for transplanted stock shipped 
balled and burlapped with lots of dirt around the 
roots. Our past experience has taught us that 
when we shipped with roots packed in moss it 
allowed too much exposure to the wind and sun 
which an evergren root cannot stand for a minute. 
When received see that it is planted without any 
delay and have a tree that you can enjoy the year 
around. Do not remove burlap as it soon rots.

Hedge Plants 
There is no planting that so emphasizes dis¬ 
tinction as a nice, well kept hedge. For land¬ 
scaping it is effective and is useful for dividing 
lines, screens, shutting off an undesirable view 
and lends an air of seclusion. 
Set plants from 12 to 18 inches apart in the 
row. When plants are set, cut back to about 
three inches of the ground. The following year 
trim back to about six inches and the third year 
to within nine inches and one foot. This will 
give the base a chance to thicken up, which is 
necessary to make a compact, good appearing 
hedge. Plant our strong sturdy stock. 
BUCKTHORN —We believe this is by far the 
best of all hedges. Beautiful colored leaves that 
cling late in the fall. Trims up easier and does
