SHADE, HEDGE and WINDBREAK J HARDY GROWN 
RUSSIAN OLIVE 
HEAVY ROOTS 
• THE RUSSIAN OLIVE 
Adapts itself to almost any purpose for which 
a tree can be used. If you want a hedge plant get 
Russian Olive. Its silvery foliage will always at¬ 
tract 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. If you want a specimen tree for 
your lawn, again consider the Russian Olive. 
In addition 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 fragrant 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.
