FOREST AND SHADE TREES—(Continued) 
Ilackberry 
(Celtis Occidentalis) 
The Hackberry is a native well into the Da¬ 
kotas, and there are wonderful specimens of 
these growing along the rivers, creeks and ravines. 
It is a perfectly hardy, rapid growing, beautifully 
shaped tree. When planted alone, allowing it to 
have plenty of room for spread, it forms into the 
best-shaped of any of the hardwood trees. It 
is well to give it considerable room in planting. 
Heavy winds will not break them. Second only 
to Chinese Elm in drought resistance. 
I am showing here the picture of a Hackberry 
tree in front of the telephone office at Yankton, 
South Dakota. This tree spreads more than 40 
feet, is a perfect globe, and is noticed and com¬ 
mented on by practically every visitor to this 
city.

Maple, Silver or Soft 
(Acer Dasycarpum) 
This is one of the rapid growing street trees. 
In towns it is one of the good shade trees and 
good street trees. If planted in groves in the 
country it does remarkably well and should be 
on every farm. Do not confuse this with the 
Silver Leaved Poplar.

Russian Olive 
Here is a variety that adapts itself to almost < 
any purpose for which a tree can be used. If you j 
want a hedge plant get Russian Olive. Plant J 
them about one foot apart, cut them back to.| 
six inches from the ground, and you will have as i 
compact and beautiful a hedge as you can desire. 
Its silvery foliage will always attract favorable 
attention. If it is a windbreak you wish to 
plant consider the Russian Olive. Set them 
about three feet apart, let them grow for a few 
years, and cut them back forcing them to 
branch low. You will have a compact wind¬ 
break starting right from the ground serving 
every purpose for which a windbreak is in¬ 
tended. If you want a specimen tree for your 
lawn, again consider the Russian Olive. Give it 
plenty of room, as it grows raise its branches 
to the height necessary for a specimen tree, and 
again its silvery foliage and well-shaped crown 
will be a point of beauty on your lawn. In addi¬ 
tion to its adaptability, the Russian Olive is one 
of the hardiest trees that we know of and will 
grow on almost any kind of soil and under any 
normal condition. Notice that even after heavy 
freezing weather when all the leaves of other 
deciduous trees have fallen, the Russian Olive 
still retains its leaves, almost as fresh as in 
summer. In the spring it is covered with frag¬ 
rant flowers, followed by the attractive, olive¬ 
shaped, silvery white seeds, that hang in clusters 
like currants throughout the fall and winter. It 
is a wonderful tree.

CUTTINGS 
A great many varieties of trees and plants can 
be propagated from cuttings more readily than 
any other way and at less expense. Cuttings of 
all kinds should be planted as soon as received. 
We do not advise shoving them into the ground 
as is commonly practiced. They will be more or 
less calloused when you receive them, and forcing 
them into the ground destroys this callous and 
makes the cutting worthless. If you have a large 
number of them a good way is to plow a deep fur¬ 
row, lay the cuttings against the overturned fur¬ 
row, where they will not be stepped on by the . 
horses as you come back with the next; and » 
throw a furrow against them, tramping them ' 
carefully after they are covered.
