Ash, White Wood very valuable 
Cottonwood ^ opufus Sargentii ' 
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.

The Hardy 
Catalpa. This 
Catalpa Speciosa 
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. 
The native timber 
tree. Very common along streams where 
it holds the soil well, and reaches mam¬ 
moth dimensions, in thickness of its 
stems as well as the spread of its lofty 
crown. The Cottonwood withstood the 
drought and the cold remarkably well; 
it will surviv.e where most other hardy 
trees would be short lived. The wood is 
used for making packing crates and 
boxes.

Ulmus Pumilla. When 
you plant Chinese 
Elms be sure they are the true hardy 
Ulmus Pumilla 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 
townpeople, are replanting much of

so popular as the American Elm, espe¬ 
cially in the Middle West. It is a fairly 
rapid grower and is hardy most any¬

planting. Include American Elm in your

screens and windbreaks. The tall, upright 
growth, attractive foliage, and a profu¬

put the Caragana in the foreground for 
windbreak-border. It is extremely hardy; 
can be grown with best success anywhere.

and for their excellent fruit. These Apri¬ 
cots are of astonishingly rapid growth. 
Keep a clean, healthy foliage throughout 
summer and fall and have therefore come 
in special demand for windbreaks and 
shelter belts for which I recommend them 
very highly.

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 
y. Water right after planting. For choice, straight stems, cut the seedlings 
nt after planting, make the cut next to the ground. There will be two or three 
nurser 
off rig 
sprouts per seedling within a short time. Cut the sprout 
twill make a perfectly straight stem in one growing season 
Cut the sprouts all off but one, which
