North Dakota. Apparently a hybrid between the native Balm of Gilead 
and White Poplar. Very hardy and drought resistant. Large leaves and 
has quite a little of the Balm of Gilead characteristics. 
SORBUS — Mountain Ash 
American. Height 20 to 40 feet. This tree should be grown in 
clusters. Somewhat difficult to get a perfectly straight tree, but we 
believe it is a better tree for the North than the European, because it 
does not sunscald and because of its willingness to bear fruit. We have 
seen small trees, one year old, bearing fruit the first year. Valuable for 
bird food. 
European. Height 25 to 30 feet. Beautiful fern-like green foliage. 
Covered from July to winter with clusters of brilliant red berries. Com- 
bination of foliage and fruit makes this a most strikingly beautiful tree. 
Valuable for bird food. 
WALNUT — Juglans 
Black Walnut (Nigra). Height 60 to 80 feet. One of the finest 
trees found growing native in Northwest. Very valuable for its wood 
and nuts. 
WILLOW — Salix 
Golden (Lutea). Height 30 to 40 feet. A strong upright grower 
with slim, pendulous branches. Light green foliage. Beautiful, clean 
yellow bark. A popular tree used extensively for windbreak purposes. 
Laurel Leaf. Height 40 to 50 feet. Foliage bright shining green 
which stays on until late fall. Particularly valuable for seashore and 
windbreak planting. Makes a beautiful individual tree as well. 
Niobe Weeping. Height 40 to 60 feet. A variety of the Golden. 
One of the most popular Willows in the Northwest. A well grown 
Niobe is a sight well worth seeing. 
Pussy Willow. Height 20 to 25 feet. Popular Willow on account of 
catkins in March and April before leaves. 
Wisconsin Willow. Height 40 to 50 feet. A very fine weeping Wil- 
low of graceful, rapid growth. Habit very similar to Niobe except that 
it is green in appearance.
