beautiful shade tree that can be grown. Our hardy native home grown 
stock is the finest that you can get and perfectly adapted to the North¬

NORTHWEST POPLAR. A hardy, drought resistant poplar, native in parts 
of lS[orth 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 cottonwood and Balm of 
Gilead. 3 to 4 ft., each, 20c; doz., $2.00; 50, $8.00. 4 to 6 ft., each, 30c; doz.,

PIONEER POPLAR or MISSOURI 
VALLEY BALM OF GILEAD, This 
is a poplar discovered growing in 
one of the wooded coulees draining 
into the Missouri some 20 miles 
north of Bismarck. It seems to be 
intermediate in appearance and 
characteristics between the Northwest poplar and the Balm of 
Gilead and we are offering it to take the place of the latter. 
This new poplar is less subject to canker, less brittle and of bet¬ 
ter shape than the common Balm of Gilead. 4 to 6 ft., each 30c; 
10, $2.50._ 
SILVER-LEAVED POPLAR. A very 
rapid grower with smooth gray 
bark. The deeply lobed leaves are

a dark glossy green on their upper side and snowy underneath. The con¬ 
trast of the white against the green is distinctive. We offer a stock of 
choice 3 to 4 ft. trees, each, 30c; 10, $2.75; 6 to 8 ft., each, 40c; 10, $4.00.

landscape work, and very beautiful. A rapid grower. 3 to 4 ft., each, 35c; 
doz., $3.50; 6 to 8 ft., each, 45c; doz., $4.50'. 
NORTH DAKOTA BURR OAK. This is one of the most permanent and beau¬ 
tiful of our native trees but' rather difficult to transplant. We are fur¬ 
nishing the larger size balled and burlapped. We are also offering stocky 
young trees from the seedling bed. 4 to 6 ft., each, $2.00. Seedlings, 12 to

and lawn tree. 3 to 4 ft., each, 30c; 10, $2.50. 
CUT LEAF WEEPING BIRCH. This is one of our 
most beautiful ornamental trees, but has been 
rather difficult to start. We believe, however, 
that we have solved this difficulty by handling 
them somewhat like evergreens and selling them 
balled in moss. We have some splendid stock.

small maple from Siberia, especially noteworthy

resistant. A handsome tree with green leaves

family, both ornamentally and for its 
value in windbreaks. 12 to 18 inches,
