BLACK HILLS PINE (Bull Pine), are the hardiest, most drought-resistant of all evergreens 
Evergreens Cut Feed and Fuel Costs 
Evergreens should be included in every farm shelter' 
belt. It’s one of the best investments you can make. 
They stop the cold and snow and make the farmstead a 
comfortable, attractive and pleasant place in which to 
live and work. They will save their cost every year. 
Recommended Spacing and 
Arrangement 
Four to eight rows of trees are recommended on the 
north and west—2 to 4 rows on south and east. The 
recommended spacing is to plant 2 rows of Caragana 
on the outside to form a snowbreak. Plant 4 feet apart 
in the row and 8 feet between rows. 
Leave 60 feet for a snow trap then plant 4 rows of 
Green Ash—Chinese Elm, and American Elm, spaced 
6 feet apart in the row and 8 feet between rows. 
Inside, plant 2 rows of evergreens 8 to 10 feet apart 
in the row and 16 feet between rows. The inside row 
of evergreens should be 100 feet from the farm build' 
ings. This space and the snow trap give ample space 
to drop the snow and leave the building and yards 
free from drifts. 
Evergreens in sizes marked R.P. (root pruned) and 
R.P.T. (root pruned and transplanted) may be set out 
directly into the windbreak row and cultivated as you 
would rows of corn. Evergreens in sizes marked S 
(seedlings) should be set in the garden where you can 
give them special attention the first two years, then 
reset them into the permanent windbreak. 
Black Hills Pine (Bull Pine) 
Outstanding in hardiness and drought resistance. 
This is the shelter'belt tree that has best survived the 
past dry seasons in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Fast 
growing, with long needles, deep green on the surface 
and bluish white underneath. 
Black Hills Spruce 
A very good, compact evergreen, quite drought re- 
sistant; next in value to Black Hills Pine and Blue 
Spruce for windbreaks. 
Colorado Blue Spruce 
A beautiful tree. Drought resistant and recom¬ 
mended especially for the inside row of the evergreen 
windbreak. 
American Arbor-Vitae 
A hardy evergreen, ideal for low hedging or tall 
screens. Stands shearing to any size or shape desired. 
Plant 2 to 3 feet apart. 
Instructions for Planting 
The soil in the space to be planted should be well 
prepared as you would for any farm crop. Plant trees 
as early in spring as possible. Potatoes or vegetables 
may be planted between the tree rows for two or three 
years. Cultivate trees as often as possible in the spring 
and summer but not after the first of August. The 
Snow Trap may be planted to corn, potatoes, or any 
farm crop.
