This photo Tiom one of my Kansas patrons shows what Chinese Elms can do. 
Planted 18 to 24 inch seedlings in the spring of 1937. Picture taken Septem¬ 
ber 1, 1938, many of the trees 10 ft. or larger, and up to 2 inches thick in the 
stems. Never irrigated, however, they were hoed and cultivated. 
Black Locust 
Robina Pseudoacacia. 
In great favor for 
Erosion Control. It holds the soil firmly 
even on extremely steep ground, due to 
its habit of forming a dense network of 
roots, which sometimes make sprouts. 
This tree grows fairly fast; it is a valu¬ 
able tree for its wood also.

Hnnpv T nr'iiot Gleditsia Tnacan- 
xioney juocusi thos This Locust 
will positively not make suckers from the 
roots. You can grow pasture or lawn 
grass under this tree, and the grass will 
do extra well in the shade of this Locust. 
It is a clean tree, of the hardwood type 
but growing quite rapidly. Perfectly 
hardy everywhere, resists drought extra 
well. For timber, wood-lots, for shade 
in grazing grounds, and, due to its very 
stout thorns, for strong, protective cattle 
fences. For theft and cattle proof fences 
plant 18 inches to 2 feet apart in the row.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS ===== 
Cultivate for the first year to keep the weeds down, and the soil loose. This means 
added growth. The corn cultivator will do the work. Commencing the third or fourth 
year after planting, cut out every second stem for a post. Make a second cutting for 
heavy poets after another four years which makes room for the remaining trees to 
grow up to big timber, at a distance of 12x12 or 16x16 feet. 
Olivo Eleagnus Angusti- 
' /,lvc folia. A medium 
size, clean tree, very hardy. Fine for 
windbreak, snowtrap, also for ornamental 
hedges. Foliage silvery-white.

Rlrrr'lr Wrrlnut Juglans Nigra. No 
DlacK vv amui timber or wood-lot 
is complete without a few rows of Black 
Walnut: even in the windbreak the taller 
growth of Black Walnut is very desirable 
for the center rows. Tree hardy, grows 
fairly fast, on low land, creek bends, etc. 
It grows as fast as softwood trees. Of 
special value for its wood. A Black Wal¬ 
nut timber on your farm represents most 
appreciable assets.
