Other Deciduous Trees 
AMERICAN ELM—ULMUS AMERICANA. The elm is perhaps the most 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 Northwest in locations where it 
can receive a fair supply of moisture. 4 to 6 ft., each 35c, 10, $3.00; 6 to 8 ft., 
each 60c, 10, $5.00; 8 to 10 ft., each $1.50, 10, $14.00. Seedlings, 12-18 in., 100, $1.60; 
500, $7.50; 1,000, $14.00. 
COTTONLESS COTTONWOOD. Several years ago, in company with Mr. Robert 
Wilson of the Great Plains Station at Mandan we made a selection of male trees 
at our nursery which we then cut back 
in order to force them to produce cutting 
wood. Prom those trees we have been 
propagating so that we are now able to 
list cottonwood trees which will produce 
no cotton. 3 to 4 ft., each, 25c; 10, $2.25. 
NORTHWEST POPLAR. a. hardy, drought 
resistant poplar, native in parts of North 
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 cotton¬ 
wood and Balm of Gilead. 3 to 4 ft., each, 15c; do*., $1.50; 50, 
$ 6 . 00 . 
American Elm 
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 contrast of the white against the 
green is distinctive. We offer a stock of choice 3 to 4 ft. trees. Each, 30c; 
10, $2.75. 
BOLLEANA POPLAR. This is one of the most ornamental poplars, foliage 
is silvery beneath, shape tall and compact like a Lombardy, perfectly 
hardy as our stock is grafted on the native cottonwood. A particularly 
useful tree in landscape work, and very beautiful. A rapid grower. 3 to 
4 ft., each, 35c; doz., $3.50; 4 to 6 ft., each, 45c; doz., $4.50. 
NORTH DAKOTA BURR OAK. This is one of the most permanent and 
beautiful of our native trees but rather difficult to transplant. We are 
furnishing the larger size balled and burlapped. We are also offering 
stocky young trees from the seedling bed. 6 to 8 ft., each, $2.00. Large 
seedlings, each, 15c. 
BLACK WALNUT. We are very glad to be able to offer at last a hardy 
strain of these fine trees. Our stock has been grown in our own nursery 
from seedlings of Minnesota origin and has survived perfectly with us. 
3 to 4 ft. trees, each, $1.00. 
HORSE CHESTNUT or BUCKEYE. We have secured a very hardy stock 
of this handsome ornamental tree and recommend it highly. Price, each, 
balled and burlapped, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00. 
Northwest Poplar 
N. D. Burr Oak 
DIAMOND WILLOW. Our best native willow and 
one of our most valuable trees. Produces in five 
or six years of growth fence posts of hard wood 
which will outlast the best posts of white cedar. 
Also by far the best firewood that can be found 
in the 'state. Easily grown. Seedlings, per 100, 
75c; 500, $2.50; 1,000, $4.00. Cuttings, per 1,000, 
$ 2 . 00 . 
Diamond Willow Pence Post 
GOLDEN RUSSIAN. The best known of the Rus¬ 
sian willows. The bark is a handsome yellow all 
year around. Valuable in windbreaks, and can 
also be trained into tree form. Cuttings only. 
100, 65c; 500, $2.50; 1,000, $4.50. 
HACKBERRY. This is a native tree of handsome 
appearance somewhat resembling the elm. Rough 
bark, very hard wood. Makes a very fine street 
and lawn tree. 3 to 4 ft., each, 30c; 10, $2.50. 
EUROPEAN MOUNTAIN ASH or ROANTREE — 
SORBUS AlCUPARIA. a very handsome hardy 
tree. The head is dense and regular, and very at¬ 
tractive when in bloom. From July until Winter 
these trees are covered with great clusters of 
bright red berries. A very choice ornamental tree. 
Special price, 4 to 5 ft. trees, each, 60c; 10, $5.50. 
CUT LEAP 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. 
6 to S ft. Price, each, $1.00. 
GINNALA or AMUR MAPLE. This is a very hardy, 
small maple from Siberia, especially noteworthy 
on account of its beauty of shape and foliage and 
the glowing colors which it takes on in the Fall. 
Attains a height of 20 to 30 feet, is absolutely 
hardy and very ornamental. 2 to 3 ft., each, 40c; 
10, $3.00. 
Flowering and Ornamental Shrubs 
We are listing a select number of hardy and beautiful shrubs which are particularly adapted to our 
climate. Many of them are natives that are in great demand all over the country but which we have 
hardly come to appreciate at their true value. 
Besides the shrubs listed we include a section of hedge plants which are equally valuable for shrub¬ 
bery plantings, and we would refer you also to such of the native fruits as sand cherry, native goose¬ 
berry, chokecherry and wild plum which work well in ornamental plantings. 
Prices given are F. O. B. here, customer pays transportation by express. Shrubs may be sent by mail 
for ten cents each added to prices. The lighter plants are used and are cut back before mailing.
