“SELECTED STRAINS” 
SHADE and ORNAMENTAL TREES 
Nature has 
adapted certain 
trees to every 
section of the 
prairies of the 
West and 
Northwest. For 
many years 
Marshalls have 
been _ selecting 
the best types 
from these 
hardy natives 
and now have a 
line of trees to 
offer which give

Shade and shel- 
ter can be had 
if ordinary care 
is given these

anywhere that 
plains crops 
succeed. All

transplanted

system and have been carefully trained—are ‘“‘Better Built.” 
MARSHALLS POPLAR. A stately native Nebraska yellow cotton- 
wood. Propagated from a staminate (male) parent, bearing no 
cottony seed, therefore doing away with the nuisance of scatter- 
ing cotton. This species of cottonwood (opulus) has straight 
grain wood and is valuable for box lumber. Its chief value for 
the plains states, however, is for its use as a shade and pro- 
tective 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 all 
conditions. It is the fastest grow- 
ing tree in our nurseries and trial 
grounds and is not affected by in- 
sects and diseases. It will out- 
grow and outlive Chinese Elm. 
We believe MARSHALLS POP- 
LAR is the outstanding tree of 
its type, to meet all conditions 
prevailing in Nebraska, Iowa, 
South Dakota, Kansas, and the 
eastern plains of Colorado and 
Wyoming, and will grow and 
thrive except on the higher and 
drier ground, where water is not 
available.

*RED OAK A handsome round- 
branches. Leaves variable in size 
and form, irregularly cut, lining 
paler green, autumn color bright 
deep red. Good for shade and or- 
namental plantings. Free from in- 
sects. Grows in drier soils and is 
hardy over most of Nebraska, 
Southeastern South Dakota, Iowa 
and south. There should be more 
of these beautiful trees planted.

HACKBERRY. An interesting tree 
as a specimen or background 
grouping. Rather widespreading 
boughs and light green glossy 
foliage give them an airy, cheer- 
ful appearance. Not particular as 
to soil and will thrive in almost 
any situation. Grows quite rap- 
idly, to a uniform shape, develop-

Evergreens are the aristocrats of the 
plant world, they give dignity, charm, 
and all-year beauty to ’the home 
grounds. 
Fortunately, the evergreen belt ex- 
tends from Alaska to the Gulf, and 
where evergreens are found as a na- 
tive tree there are varieties which will 
do well in that locality. We, in the 
plains states, are extremely fortunate 
to have so many varieties adapted to 
this section. Certain Spruce, Fir, Pine 
and many Junipers are easy to grow 
here. 
Evergreens are in a distinct class 
as ornamentals and there is no substi- 
tute for their many uses. The range 
of colors and forms available is truly 
wonderful. The charm and beauty of 
the home enhanced with a delightful 
evergreen foundation planting is irre- 
sistible, and gives a pleasant feeling 
of warmth and welcome. 
For windbreaks, tall screens. or 
hedges, for privacy, or for specimen 
planting, the evergreens are un- 
matched. Most every lawn has room 
for a specimen or two, which can de- 
velop and display their natural beauty. 
In summer or in winter their lovely 
green foliage is always appealing. 
Your home will be more satisfying to 
you when you have completed an 
evergreen planting.
