Trees for Yard and Shelter Belt 
Customer Pays Transportation Except Where Marked Postpaid. 
Our list of trees is hardy for the Northwest but for farm planting' and dry conditions it is wise to 
stick to the old standbys, cottonwood, box elder and ash, with a few of the introduced sorts of tested 
value such as Siberian Pea or Caragana and Russian Olive. With these may be safely mixed Buffalo ■ 
Berry and Diamond Willow under some conditions. 
NORTH DAKOTA COTTONWOOD—POPULUS DELTOIDES. The foundation 
of prairie tree culture in North Dakota, and the backbone of all the many 
groves which dot our state. The most rapid grower and freest from disease 
of any of the poplar family, once more the cottonwood is coming into its 
own and is in increasing demand. We have been headquarters for this tree 
for 50 years. Valuable for its quick growth both for shelter and wood, and 
it will produce successive crops of fuel if properly handled. M

GREEN ASH. j s one of our native trees and 
has come to be regarded as the very hard¬ 
iest tree under all conditions that can be 
planted. It is drought resistant, alkali re¬ 
sistant, and insect resistant. The only in¬ 
jury to which it is at all subject is the 
borer, and the damage from that is rather 
overestimated.

Native Cottonwood. 
March 10, 1934. 
The first cottonwood seedlings I helped plant on my 
father’s homestead in Richland Co., N. D... about 50 
years ago that we ordered from you, are still there 
as a towering landmark for that vicinity.

The missing order of shrubs and trees which I wrote 
about two weeks ago was received about a week ago 
after being on the road nearly a month. It was shipped 
on the boat which left Seattle May 12th. but, as the ex¬ 
press agent told me, was not unloaded in time to be 
sent out on train I met. So I got the package on my 
next trip, two weeks later. 
Thanks to your careful packing and the quality of 
the shrubs they are all growing.
