Ash, White 
Fraxinus Americana. 
Wood very valuable 
for lumber and fire-wood. The Ash is a 
hardwood tree and probably one of the 
fastest prowers of the hardwood type. 
Does well anywhere, perfectly hardy even 
in Canada; also resists the heat and 
droupht of the Middle West. White Ash 
should be in every wood-lot plantinp.

Caialpa Speciosa caiaipa. 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.

Ex- 
cellent for ornamental 
screens and windbreaks. The tall, upright 
growth, attractive foliage, and a profu¬ 
sion of yellow flowers in the spring have 
put the Caragana in the foreground for 
windbreak-border. It is extremely hardy: 
can be grown with best success anywhere.

I’opufus Sargentil. 
UOttOnWOOd 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 survive where most other hardy 
trees would be short lived. The wood is 
used for making packing crates and 
boxes.

Elm, American n'i^^^h: 
en 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- 
w'here. The tree makes a large spreading 
crown, very suitable for shade and street 
planting. Include American Elm in your 
wood-lot or timber planting.

PERSIMMON 
Can be grown as far north as the south¬ 
ern half of this state. The fruit is med¬ 
ium size, and must be fully ripe before it 
is good to use. The tree has a good ap¬ 
pearance, it is often used as an ornament¬ 
al tree. The wood is valuable. Persim¬ 
mons will do well even on poor soil. I 
sell the hardy strain of seedling Persim¬ 
mon. I’l-ice: 18-24 inch nice seedlings, 
10 for 50c; 25 for $1.00; 100 for $3.00; pre¬ 
paid. 
Ulmus Pumilla. When 
you plant Chinese 
Elms be sure they are the true hardy 
Ulmus I’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.

XJ— Celtis Occldentalis. A 
XluCKOCrry 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.

All grades of seedlings, shrubs 
• and trees offered in this book 
are measured not including the roots. As 
many other nurseries measure roots and 
all in their grades, my 6 to 9 Inch seed¬ 
lings would correspond with an 18 inch 
grade of other quotations. It is therefore 
well that you make certain of the actual 
size of stock before you buy. 
, 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.
