covering the entire trees—very fragrant.

Produces profuse red blooms, followed by maroon red fruit which hangs 
on late into the winter. 
ELM, AMERICAN - The most popular of hardy native trees. Grows 
very tall, graceful and spreading, with drooping foliage. Always a favor¬ 
ite shade tree. Transplanted trees. 
ELM, CHINESE SIBERIAN -The fastest growing, most satisfac¬ 
tory shade, ornamental or windbreak tree. It is very hardy and its 
resistance to drought, alkali and extremes of temperature render it 
especially valuable. The Chinese Elm is adapted to any part of the 
United States, and will grow to a height of 60 feet, attaining a girth of 
12 feet. Luxurious shade may be enjoyed in just a few years and some 
specimens have reached a height of 23 to 25 feet in four years, with a 
spread of 18 feet. ’(See illustration, page 28.)

midal form, has large leaves and fragrant flowers. 
MAPLE, HARD OR SUGAR -The King of Maples—straight, 
spreading, symmetrical in form. A fast grower—attaining immense size 
— frequently 100 ft. tall. Beautiful foliage, especially in autumn when 
leaves turn to clear yellow and scarlet. 
MAPLE, SILVER -Because of its quick growth and good foliage, 
this tree is in big demand. The leaves appear early in spring, are bright 
green in color with the lower side silvery. Good for quick effect. 
POPLAR, LOMBARDY- -Very picturesque, tall growing tree. Used 
extensively for landscape effect, also in screen planting. Rapid grower.

combines beauty with usefulness. The nuts from these trees are highly 
prized, especially for cakes and candies. A group of our Native Black 
Walnut Trees should be on every farm. 
Double Row Chinese Elm Windbreak, 2 Years After Planting. 
HARDY WINDBREAK TREES 
The recent drought years have taught important lessons with reference 
to the planting of windbreak trees. 
Green Ash ranks at the head of the list, in its ability to survive in 
regions of scanty rainfall. Chinese Elm has also demonstrated that 
it is an outstanding tree in sections too dry for most other trees, 
and on account of its habit of branching close to the ground it is a 
good tree for the outer rows of a shelter belt. 
Caragana may be used also but does not attain the height of the 
Chinese Elm, while Russian Olive may be used in upland locations. 
It is recommended that Ash and Chinese Elm be alternated either in 
the row, or that the alternate rows of each be used. 
For a low spot, too wet for other trees to thrive, the Laurel Leaf 
Willow is best suited. 
We offer the hardiest recommended varieties for planting in the 
Northwest, and advise planting two to five or even six rows for real 
effectiveness. Rows to be 10-12 ft. apart, and the trees 4-5 ft. apart 
in the rows. 
WILLOW, GOLDEN WEEPING -(Niobe.) A golden-barked tree 
with graceful, drooping branches. The hardiest and most beautiful of 
all weeping trees.
