American Elm—The elm grows a little faster on 
good ground than does the ash, but is more par- 
ticular about the soil. It will grow taller than the 
ash and makes a good companion for it. The more 
varieties of trees in a windbreak the more effec- 
tive it is. 18-24 inch transplants, $5.00 for 100. 
Chinese Elm—When this tree was first introduced 
it was too well spoken of. When its faults were 
discovered it was too badly spoken of. It is not to 
be used as a shade tree, but as a windbreak tree 
it is excellent because of the rapid and very 
bushy growth. It will stop snow two years after 
planting even if the rabbits eat it down the first 
year. It will serve the purpose well until the 
slower growing and more permanent trees take 
effect. 18-24 inch, $4.00 for 100. Plant 3 to 4 feet 
apart. 
Golden Willow—A very good windbreak tree 
except where there is alkali. A valuable trait is 
the nice golden color in the winter. It is especially 
nice together with evergreens and birch. A wind- 
break should be ornamental as well as_ useful. 
18-24 inch, $6.00 for 100. 
Honeysuckle—This we believe is the very best 
shrub to use as a snowfence and aiso very good 
for an inside row. It grows fast and bushy, reach- 
ing a height of 10 feet, and is very attractive 
when loaded with flowers in the spring and ber- 
ries in the summer. Easy to grow and grows any- 
where, 12-18 inch transplants, $12 for 100. Plant 
4 feet apart. 
Birch—Not recommended as a windbreak tree, 
but a few mixed in with the others brightens the 
winter landscape. 12-18 inch, 10 for $1.50. 
Spruce, White—This is the most. satisfactory 
evergreen for windbreaks. On light  soi.s it is 
practical to use evergreens for windbreaks. More 
trouble is experienced in heavy soil in getting 
them started. 5-year 8 to 12 inch, 25 for $4.0u; 
100 for $12.00. 
FRUIT 
The fruit breeding stations of Minriesouat Da- 
kotas, Canada and others have now made it 
possible for us in the North to grow very worth- 
while fruit. Much has also been learned about 
fruit culture and this information is available at 
these stations, county agent offices, and ELL: 
ture colleges.
