This picture of a newly planted windbreak was taken in the summer of the first growing 
season. Six years later the windbreak was grown up to full protective size, as the picture 
below shows. 
lust six years after planting, this windbreak gave full protection. The home, garden, feed-lot, 
orchard, in fact everything on this farm-place was benefited by this growth. Besides that it 
furnished posts, and in some seasons valuable fruit crops. If you plant your windbreak in 
4 or 5 rows as follows: the north row of Native Plum seedlings. 4 feet apart; the south row 
of Apricot seedlings or Peach seedlings, or the two mixed, 6 to 8 feet apart; the two or three 
center rows of Chinese Elms, 6 feet apart (thinning them out after two years to stand 12 feet 
apart); or one row of Chinese Elms and one row of Russian Mulberries, and one row of 
Catalpa Speciosa. Instead of the latter you can plant Black Walnut or Ash. You will have a 
first-class all-purpose windbreak in just a few years. 
Catalpa Speciosa £ d a y 
It is a rapid growing, tall, upright tree 
with large, light green leaves. Owing to 
the upright growth it can be included in 
the windbreak to make up the height. 
Also used for growing of posts which 
have excellent wearing qualities.

Flm flmprirrrn Ulmus Americana. 
iLim, nmencan For a good S hade 
and timber tree few trees are so popular 
as the American Elm. It is hardy most 
anywhere, and grows rapidly. The tree 
makes a large spreading crown which 
makes it especially popular for street 
planting. I have a good supply of healthy 
clean seedlings, well up to grade, and am 
pricing them exceptionally low.

f~ , U: naC Q pi—, Ulmus Pumilla. When 
HAITI y OU purchase Chinese 
Elms make sure they are of the true 
Ulmus Pumilla variety, because not all 
Chinese Elms are fully hardy. There is 
no other tree that would equal the Ulmus 
Pumilla in rapid growth. It is perfectly 
hardy in the winter. For the last few 
years of extremely dry weather the Ulmus 
Pumilla came through in good shape.

- = PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS -- ■ ■ • = 
As soon as you receive a shipment of seedlings unwrap promptly, place the roots in cold water for several hours. Before you 
take them out to plant dip the roots into a paste of thin mud, plant with plenty of this paste sticking to the roots. Plant the 
seedlings about 1 inch deeper than grown in the nursery, and water right after planting. In order to get good, straight stems 
the seedlings can be cut off near the ground right at planting time. There will be two or three sprouts per seedling within a 
short time. Cut them all off but one which will make a nice straight stem in one growing season.
