for lumber and fire-wood. The Ash is a 
hardwood tree and probably one of the 
fastest growers of the hardwood type. 
Does well anywhere, perfectly hardy even 
in Canada; also resists the heat and 
drought of the Middle West. White Ash 
should be in every wood-lot planting.

Catalpa Speciosa 5 t e ai5. a This 
is a tree of tall, upright growth, large 
light green leaves. To make up the tall 
growth in a windbreak, one row of these 
Catalpas in the center will be very ef¬ 
fective. The wood of this catalpa is of 
great value for posts, and due to the 
rapid growth of the tree, and its straight, 
tall stem, the posts are easy to grow, and 
are very straight. Having hard wood, the 
posts last for many years.

tree. Very common along streams where 
it holds the soil well, and reaches mam¬

stems as well as the spread of its lofty 
crown. The Cottonwood withstood the 
drought and the cold remarkably well; 
it will survive where most other hardy 
trees would be short lived. The wood is 
used for making

Flm Amprirnn Ulmus Americana. 
American i know of no oth¬ 
er shade and timber tree that would be 
so popular as the American Elm, espe¬ 
cially in the Middle West. It is a fairly 
rapid grower and is hardy most any¬ 
where. The tree makes a large spreading 
crown, very suitable for shade and street 
planting. Include American Elm in your 
wood-lot or timber planting.

Look over your grounds, convince your¬ 
self that there is room for a woodlot, for 
a shelterbelt, or for a windbreak. Plant 
now. There is no better snowtrap, no 
better way of conserving moisture on the 
farm, than by stocking up with trees. 
Game cover, control of hot winds, are 
only a few of the extra benefits you de¬ 
rive from trees. Just a small sum invest¬ 
ed now in seedling stock will increase 
the value of your land by hundreds of 
dollars within just a few years. 
Ulmus Pumilla. When 
you plant Chinese 
Elms be sure they are the true hardy 
Ulmus 1’umilla strain, because not all 
Chinese Elms are fully hardy. My seed¬ 
lings are of the northern hardy type 
which can be planted safely anywhere 
and will be perfectly hardy. The Chinese 
Elm is the most rapid growing tree; it 
has also come through our last four years 
of extreme drought in remarkably good 
condition. Farmers everywhere, as well 
as townpeople, are replanting much of 
their lost trees and timber with Chinese 
Elms, knowing how fast this tree grows. 
Note the nice row of Chinese Elms, up¬ 
per right hand corner page 21; a protec¬ 
tion to nearby fields from hot winds, a 
snowtrap in 
the winter. 1

Uz-c-.l/'UCeltis 
Occidentalis. A 
NrrrtKorrv Celtis Occidentalis. A 
XiULKUcll y most valuable tree that 
should be included in any timber plant¬ 
ing. One of the very best for a long- 
lived shade tree. Very hardy, and un¬ 
usually drought-resistant. I recommend 
it especially for wood-lots and for shade.

■ PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS ===== 
After receiving shipment, put roots of the seedlings in cold water for a few hours. 
Before taking them out for planting, dip the roots into a paste of thin mud, plant 
with plenty of mud sticking to the roots. Plant 1 inch deeper than grown in the 
nursery. Water right after planting. For choice, straight stems, cut the seedlings 
off right after planting, make the cut next to the ground. There will be two or three 
sprouts per seedling within a short time. Cut the sprouts all off but one, which 
will make a perfectly straight stem in one growing season.
