OAK 
PIN “ Pyramidal in habit with stiff, 
horizontal branches. Easiest oak to 
transplant, grows faster than most 
other oaks. Leaves deep green,glossy, 
fully divided,turning handsome orange 
scarlet in fall. 
RED - A handsome tree with wide-spread¬ 
ing branches. Attractive bronze and 
red foliage in fall. Hardy in eastern 
Nebraska and Kansas, southeastern 
South Dakota and Iowa. Transplants 
easily in sizes below six feet. 
PLUM 
FLOWERING - Low,bushy, shrub-like tree, 
producing pink double flowers. 
REDBUD, AMERICAN - Pink, pea-shaped 
blossoms before the leaves unfold. 
Should be placed in protected posi¬ 
tion. Not very reliable. 
♦ OLIVE-, RUSSIAN - An ornamental tree of 
special value; attains a height of 30 
feet or more; bark and leaves light 
green when young; bark becomes darker 
as the tree grows older, and the 
leaves more silvery white; it blooms 
profusely in June in small racemes, 
color of flower, yellow. Fragrant,an 
excellent tree for semi-arid 
districts. Is used considerably for 
windbreak. 
♦WALNUT BLACK - Great economic value. 
Good lawn tree.Our best nut producer. 
♦NEWPORT - We think this is the best 
standard purple leaf plum. 
POPLAR 
♦MARSHALL -This tree is propagated from 
wood taken from a stately Nebraska 
yellow cottonwood. This parent tree 
was staminate (male) euid bore no 
cottony seed. 
This species of cottonwood (popu- 
lus) has straight grain wood and is 
valuable for box i\imber. Its chief 
value for the plains states, however, 
will probably be its use as a shade 
and protective tree; it grows upright 
with a straight body and extends its 
limbs into a wide symmetrical top. It 
is the most stately tree adapted to 
the West and has the ruggedness to 
withstand conditions. It is the fast¬ 
est growing tree in our nurseries auid 
trial grounds and is not affected by 
Insects and diseases. It is rather 
difficult to propagate from wood and 
our supply, as yet, is limited. It is 
hoped that better means of propaga¬ 
tion may be worked out so it may be 
available in quantity for windbreak 
purposes. It outgrows and outlives 
Chinese Elm. 
Since we propagate it from wood,it 
will not become a nuisance in scat¬ 
tering cotton,like about one half of 
seedling cottonwoods do. 
♦VOLGA -Similar to the Lombardy Poplar, 
but better for the West. The tree 
grows upright and is used for both 
high points in a planting and for 
screening purposes. Approximate limb 
spread, six to eight feet; height, 20 
to 30 feet. 
♦SILVER - Leaves are dark on upper side 
and pure white on lower side. Leaves 
resemble Maple and this tree is often 
incorrectly called Silver Maple. 
Hardy and drouth-resistant inthe West 
and Northwest. 
BOLLEANA POPLAR - Leaves similar to 
Silver Poplar, and habit of growth 
similar to Volga Poplar. Hardy. 
WILLOW 
♦MIOBE WILLOW - Our hardiest weeping 
willow. Has attractive yellow twigs 
for winter effect. 
PDSSY WILLOW - A small shrub-like tree 
which is quick-growing and has furry 
catkins in spring which make it very 
attractive eind desirable.

TREES for EVERY CLIMATIC CONDITION 
Nature has adapted certain trees 
to every section of the prairies of 
the West and Northwest. Annual 
prairie fires were undoubtedly the 
main reason why the pioneer did not 
find these plains states covered 
with timber instead of grass. Spots 
in ravines or on hills protected by 
rocky grassless inclines where prai¬ 
rie fires could not reach,have their 
native trees and shrubs withstanding 
the most severe conditions. 
Examples of this were the native 
Hackberry, Ash, American Elm,Cotton¬ 
wood, Burr Oak, and numerous other 
species found growing in fire pro¬ 
tected spots throughout the plains 
states to the Rocky Mountains. More 
recently, species from regions in 
Siberia,Manchuria,and other sections 
of Asia having similar rigorous cli¬ 
matic conditions, have been found 
well-adapted to this section of the 
country. 
For many years Marshalls have 
been selecting the best types from 
these hardy natives and from the ex¬ 
otic species and have a line of 
trees to offer which give very sat¬ 
isfactory results in any of the 
plains states. Shade and shelter can 
be had if ordinary care is given 
these hardy sorts, anywhere that 
plains crops succeed.
