• ASH 
This is one of the most valuable of all 
for northern and northwestern South Dakota 
and North Dakota. In planting in that section, 
you should make your planting largely of the Ash. 
It is an upright grower, with beautiful foliage, 
perfectly hardy and best for the high and dry 
places, or where a hard pan is close to the top of 
the ground. It will thrive in that part of the 
country where ninety per cent of the popula¬ 
tion will say that trees cannot be produced.

• BOX ELDER—Acer Negundo 
This is a rapid growing tree, producing fire¬ 
wood of good quality about as quickly as any 
tree will. Very hardy and long lived; is not a 
beautiful tree but it is desirable in your wind¬ 
break or groves on the farm. We do not advise 
the planting of these for street trees or in city 
parks, but intersperse a row of Box Elder in 
your grove on the farm for quick protection.

• BIRCH—Cut-Leaf Weeping 
One of America's most beautiful trees and one 
that is most planted of all Weeping Trees. A 
tall, fairly slender grower, with an erect slender 
trunk, somewhat pyramidal in shape with 
graceful, drooping branches and glistening 
silvery-white bark. The foliage is deeply and 
delicately cut, thin, and of a beautiful shade of 
green. The whole tree, itself, is a wonderful 
sight and if you have room for one WeepingTree, 
this is the one that you should plant. Give it 
plenty of cultivation and it will do fine for you.

HARDY 
G URNEY'S I NUT BEARING TREES 
EVERY FARM HAS ROOM 
FOR SOME NUT TREES 
• HORSE CHESTNUT—Ohio Buckeye 
The nuts that these trees were grown from were gathered from two 
trees that are at least eighteen inches through and perfect in form, grow¬ 
ing in the City of Yankton. Those are probably the oldest Horse Chestnut 
trees in South Dakota and have proved perfectly hardy. The fruit of this 
is not edible. The tree is very beautiful and ornamental, having an almost 
perfectly globular crown. It bears large quantities of beautiful flowers 
followed by burrs containing two to four nuts. 
We find these trees growing and doing well, perfectly hardy in the 
eastern part of South Dakota and eastern North Dakota. They are excep¬ 
tionally hardy, a wonderful shade tree and should be planted more exten¬ 
sively. Very Rapid in Growth. 4-6 ft., each 95c; per 5, $4.35; per 10, 
$8.00; 6-8 ft., each $1.25; 2 for $2.25. 
® HAZEL NUT 
This forms a small growing bush and produces large quantities of nuts; 
it is perfectly hardy in any territory; does best if planted alongside of, or 
in, thingroves, or along banks in the natural timber. Each 20c; 5 for 90c. 
• BLACK WALNUT 
The trees that we are offering are grown from nuts gathered from native 
trees. It is an established fact that'the furthest north in which Black Wal¬ 
nuts have been located growing naturally is along the river at Yankton. The 
trees we are offering are from this stock. 
This is the black walnut that produces probably the most valuable of any 
wood grown in the United States today. It also produces large quantities of 
nuts which are always marketable at a good price. We grow these in immense 
quantities.
