JACK PINE 
Hardy—Endures Extremes of Heat or Cold. Very Desirable for 
Windbreaks, Groves, Shelterbelts and Screens. Grows 
where others Fail. Thrives on the Poorest of Soil 
This variety is unquestionably well suited to the dry, hot climates and sandy 
soils of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Nebraska and the Dakotas. Wind¬ 
breaks of Jack Pine planted near Brookings, South Dakota, in 1908, have done re¬ 
markably well and are very vigorous and thrifty. In the sand hills of Nebraska its 
growth and success is phenomenal. Protection for stock and crops from the hot, 
parching winds of summer and the cold, dry winter winds is an absolute necessity 
in some states, and for this purpose Jack Pine cannot be excelled.^ 
“Jack Pine makes a satisfactory growth on poorest, sandy soils and it must be 
considered as one of the best trees for such situations. It can be planted with 
success where most other species fail. It makes a serviceable windbreak and may 
be planted for the production of posts or saw timber. It is one of_ the most 
rapid growing pines, will stand considerable drought and is seldom injured by 
frost. 
“I have known plantations which had been set out only four years to average 
in height eight or nine feet.”—Prof. G. B. McDonald, Iowa State Exp. Sta., Ames, 
Iowa. 
PROF. S. B. GREEN of St. Paul, Minn., says: “This tree under favorable circum¬ 
stances will occasionally attain a height of 126 feet, with a diameter of twelve inches. 
It makes a tremendous growth while young. A single acre will yield 40 to 50 cords of 
wood and a great deal of farming timber besides.” 
MICHIGAN—“Jack Pine is a native to Mich¬ 
igan and is well suited to the poor sands of the 
northern part of the state. On the so-called Jack 
Pine lands, and cut-over areas where the soil is 
too poor for other evergreens to thrive. Jack Pine 
has a place.”—Michigan Agricultural College, 
East Lansing, Mich. 
MINNESOTA—“The Jack Pine is the hardiest 
native evergreen we have and is especially adapted 
to dry, loose soil, where it has a wondrous power 
of withstanding drought. It is of rapid growth, 
which, together with its extreme hardiness, has 
led to its being planted extensively throughout 
dry, hot states of the West.”—The University of 
Minnesota, St. Paul, Minn. 
CANADA—“Jack Pine is found throughout 
the province of Manitoba on sandy soils and 
reaches its best development west of Lake Win¬ 
nipeg. It flourishes on dry, sandy plains. The 
best Jack Pine timber produces a good grade of 
saw and tie material. It is coming more and 
more into use as pulp and may be found useful 
for paving blocks.”—University of Ontario, 
Guelph, Ont., Canada.

JACK PINE 
FOR 
KANSAS and NEBRASKA 
“The Jack Pine has long been 
recognized as a tree of inestima¬ 
ble value for the sand hill region 
of Kansas and Nebraska. 
“Thousands of Jack Pine trees 
have been planted here within the 
last few years and according to 
the reports that I have secured 
from the planters the usual per¬ 
centage of growth is about 80 
per cent. 
“I heartily recommend this tree 
for planting on dry, sandy soils 
and in hot climates such as we 
have here.”—CHAS. A. SCOTT, 
State Forester, Manhattan, Kans.
