ful as a windbreak or screen. At blossoming time 
is all white with flowers, followed later on with 
numerous small berries. Heavy grade trees, 8 ft. 
high for $2.00 each. 
American Elm—The standard shade and_ boule- 
vard tree. We have a good supply of these. Great 
care is used in digging, every tree sold will have 
a good root, and if planted and taken care of 
right, every tree is practically sure to grow. The 
prices here are average. We have some trees with 
better than average top, and some below grade, 
with prices accordingly. We invite you to come 
and choose your own, 5-6 ft., 75 cents; 6-8 ft., 
$1.25; 8-10 ft., $2.00; 10-12 ft., $3.00. | 
Hackberry—tThis is a native of Minnesota, but 
not well known. The leaves resemble the elm, the 
shape of the trea is somewhat like the ash, but 
wider. Not a fast grower, but hardy and clean. 
Should be used more. 10-12 ft., $4.00. 
Horse Chestnut—A medium sized tree, has white 
flowers in the spring and in the fall is a grand 
show with its colored leaves. These trees are 
grown by our good friend Edward Leding, from 
seed picked from his own trees. 4-5 ft., each $1.50. 
Mountain Ash—This tree requires plenty mois- 
ture, and will live longer if grown in bush form. 
It also likes some shade. Under good conditions 
is one of the most beautiful trees. 3-4 ft., each $1. 
May Day Tree—Grows to a height of about 12 
feet, appreciated early in the spring when loaded 
with large panicles of white flowers. 2-3. ft., 
each $1.00. 
Hedges 
The number one hedge for the north is Coton- 
easter Acutifolia. It is entirely hardy, fast grow- 
ing, and generally thrifty. The dark green glossy 
leaves appear early in the spring, and in the fall 
turn red. Can be used as a natural or trimmed 
hedge. The height can be kept as low as 18 inches, 
or up to 6 feet. Two-year transplanted, per hun- 
dred, $16. 
For a tall hedge, Honeysuckle serves the purpose 
to better advantage than most shrubs because of 
it rapid growth and adaptability to severe con- 
ditions. For windbreak purposes it is ideal, as it 
grows to a height of 10 to 15 feet. In May! the 
bush is full of flowers, followed later on in the 
summer with red berries. 12-18 inch, 100 for $12.
