BLACK HILLS SPRUCE. This is a sub-variety of the White Spruce, but is much 
hardier. It has been growing in the Black Hills since glacial days and there is 
nothing in the way of blizzards, hot winds, drought and the like that it had not 
withstood for centuries before a.white man ever saw it. This is one of the 
most attractive Evergreens and without exception the easiest to transplant. 
Price, each, 12 to 18 in., $1.00'; 18 to 24 in., $2.25. 
SELECTED COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE—PICEA PUNGENS. An elegant Colo¬ 
rado species with feathery leaves of rich steel blue. Perfectly hardy anywhere 
in the Northwest. 12-18 in., $2.00; 1S-24 in., $4.00. 
NORTH DAKOTA BULL PINE—PINUS SCOPULORUM. This is a native Pine of 
the North Dakota Bad Lands, and the acme of hardiness. It makes a hand¬ 
some, stocky tree, beautiful the year round with its long dark green needles. 
We have a limited number of the specimen trees to which we call your atten¬ 
tion. We sold a number for park purposes last year and the results have been 
wonderful. 12 to IS in., each, 75c; 6 to 8 ft., each, $10.00. 
SCOTCH PINE—PINUS SYLVESTRIS. A fast growing, 
long-leaved pine from northern Europe, which has dem¬ 
onstrated its hardiness over much of our section and is 
giving a good account of itself in a number of old plant¬ 
ings. Price, each, 18 to 24 in., 75c; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00. 
JACK PINE. Fast growing, shorter leaved pine of Minnesota. Does well in sandy 
soil but not in heavy soil. 18 to 24 in., each, 00c. 
CREEPING JUNIPER—JUNIPERUS HORIZONTALIS. This is the lovely evergreen 
ground cover which we admire so much as it grows on the very tops of the Bad 
Lands Buttes and the Killdeer Mountains. Healthy rooted clumps, each, $1.50. 
BUSH JUNIPER—JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS. This 
is the native Juniper bush which is of very great 
value for foundation plantings and formal ever¬ 
green groups. Its maximum height is not over 
3 feet with spread usually twice as great or 
more. Hardy and of handsome bluish green 
shaded to reddish in Winter. Each, about 12 to 
18 inches high, $2.00. 
NORTH DAKOTA BAD LANDS CEDAR—JUNIPERUS SCOPULORUM. 
This is our native type of red cedar, which is of more upright or 
columnar habit and of a more handsome bluish color than the com¬ 
mon kind, as well as being the hardiest of its family. Our stock is all 
collected in the Bad Lands, grown and established at our nursery and 
sent out balled and burlapped. 18-24 in., each, $2.00>; 2 to 3 ft., $3,00. 
Bad Lands Cedar 
Chinese Elm 
CHINESE OR SIBERIAN ELM (Uliiius pumila). Most drought resistant 
tree we have and of very rapid growth. Is best planted on well 
drained soil where it gives wonderful results. Do not plant in heavy, 
soggy soil. A fast growing handsome tree for farm planting, but 
shouid be kept trimmed as it is quite brittle. Its exact value for all 
purposes is not yet determined completely, but it is enjoying a. tre¬ 
mendous popularity which seems to be deserved. 12 to 18 in. .seed¬ 
lings, per 10O, $2.00; 3 to 4 ft. each, 25c; doz., $2.50; 4 to 0 ft., each,
