NORTH DAKOTA COTTONWOOD (Populus Deltoides). The 
foundation of prairie tree culture in North Dakota, and the 
backbone of all the many groves which dot our state. The most 
rapid grower and freest from disease of any of the poplar fam¬ 
ily, once more the cottonwood is coming into its own and is in 
increasing demand. We have been headquarters for this tree 
for 50 years. Valuable for its quick growth both for shelter 
and wood, and it will produce successive crops of fuel if prop¬ 
erly handled.

BOX ELDER or MANITOBA MAPLE. The only representative of the maple family native to our 
state, and an old favorite for street and yard planting and to thicken up a windbreak. Hardy, 
long-lived, can be trimmed to make a very symmetrical shade tree. 5 at 10 rates. 50 at 100

CHINESE or SIBERIAN ELM. The past winter has conclusively proved that this tree lacks har¬ 
diness under certain extreme conditions and is definitely not a tree for ornamental planting on 
boulevard and lawn. Its ability to renew itself quickly from the root conclusively demonstrates 
its value for hedges, shelter belts and windbreaks. In such uses its very rapid growth and very 
great drouth resistance give it a high place, and a year or so now and then of ragged and unkempt 
appearance are not of such great importance. Plant in well drained locations only. Seedlings, 
12 to 18 in., 100, $2.00; 500, $9.00; 18 to 24 in., 100, $3.25. Transplants, 3 to 4 ft., each,
