POPLARS. These fast growing trees have a valued place in 
many plantings, altho in small yards they often cause 
trouble. The varieties we offer do not sucker altho their 
roots may cause trouble in poorly laid drain pipes. 
Bolleana. These are the somewhat rare and beautiful 
green barked columnar trees that are so much ad- 
mired. The leaves are gray green and very little 
suckering takes place. Protect the trunk. 
Cottonless Cottonwood. We offer only the male trees 
that do not make cotton. Valuable trees for farms and 
large estates. 
RUSSIAN OLIVE. A low Srowing, very irregular gray leaved 
tree. Extremely hardy and will get along with very little 
water. Used for windbreaks or even as a high hedge. Its 
picturesqueness makes it effective in rock gardens and 
naturalistic plantings. 
WILLOW, WEEPING. Near water or as a background to a 
large lawn or planting, these fine yellow barked trees are 
at their best. Their slender branches droop to the ground. 
Entirely hardy. Protect the trunk for two years.

We are very proud of the quality of our trees and are 
delighted to show them. We think they are the finest in the 
state. A tree is such a permanent thing that the best is none 
too good. Be particular about the trees you plant. 

BECHTEL’S FLOWERING CRAB 
BABY CHICKS — POULTS 
Last year we arranged to offer Baby Chix and Poults for one of the largest and high- 
est grade hatcheries in the state. The satisfaction given by his babies was so great and 
general that we are continuing the offer this year, even though the prices are slightly 
higher. We have made it our business to investigate the operations of this plant and are 
amazed to find the amount of painstaking work that is involved in producing blood tested 
strains. If you want real quality chix, send us your order. 
And these Oregon Broad Breasted Turkeys are an amazing improvement on the old 
strains. Last year we said ‘“‘they mature earlier and the big broad breasts give half as 
much again white meat as the old breed.’’ After a year’s experience, we would say this 
was a decided understatement. 
There won’t be enough Poults to fill all orders this year. 
In Chix we offer the standard varieties—White Leghorn, White Rocks, White 
Wyandottes, Buff Orpingtons, S.C.R.I. Reds and Barred Rocks at $11.90 per 100, 50 at 
the 100 price. 
White Leghorn sexed pullets, guaranteed 90% true, $22.80 per 100. Minimum 
order 50. 
Orders of 200 or more sent prepaid. If less than 200 are ordered, instruct ex- 
press collect or include 50c per 100 for prepayment of charges. Baby Chix are held to 
your order upon receipt of a deposit of $2.00 per 100, the balance to be paid before 
shipment. Chix cannot be shipped C.O.D. 
In ordering Poults we suggest you do not take too early delivery. These birds grow 
so fast that the early hatched ones are apt to weigh 20 pounds and upward by Thanks- 
giving and are often difficult to market. At that, the earlier deliveries command a 
premium and the prices run from 58 cents for delivery the end of April to 46 cents 
the end of June. These are offered prepaid and good delivery is guaranteed. Send 
$10.00 per 100 with your order and the balance before shipment. Minimum order 50.
