Red Silver Crab Seedlings—Out of several hun- 
dred seedlings we have selected the ones with 
the reddest leaves. These will have red flowers and 
in addition have red foliage which is so valuable 
in a mixed planting. Planted together with white 
flowering shrubs, gray leaved trees, or ever- 
greens, they will make an outstanding combina- 
tion. 2 to 3 ft., each 50 cents. ; 
American Elm—The standard shade and _ boule- 
vard tree. The 8 to 10 ft. size is perhaps the 
best average size to use. Each $2.00. 
Horse Chestnut or Ohio Buckeye—A medium 
sized tree with white flowers in the spring’ and 
gorgeous coloring in the fall. 4 to 5 ft., each 
$1.50. 
Mountain Ash—This tree is found in abundance 
in eastern Minnesota, growing wild. It likes plen- 
ty moisture and does best if grown like a bush. 
4-5 ft., each $1.00. 
May Day Tree—Grows to about 12 ft. in shrub 
form. Flowers appear very early in the spring. 
They resemble the chokecherry but many times 
as large. Very valuable in the landscape picture. 
2-3 ft., strong grade, each $1.00. 
Golden Willew—It can be used either as a tree or 
a shrub. As it grows older it should be cut back 
nearly to the ground to produce new growth. A 
good ornamental tree for winter. At the Mor- 
aen station willows are used freely for ornament- 
al purposes. There they are cut to the ground 
every spring, thus producing a great number of 
long slender branches, 1o-24 inch tiansplants, 
each 35 cents. 
Hedges 
For a tall hedge, Honeysuckle serves the purpose 
to better advantage than most shrubs because of 
its 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. 
Shrubs 
What a difference a few good shrubs make! They 
will transform a barren and uninviting yard to a 
place of beauty, will be a source of joy to the 
family, and attract favorable attention of the 
publie.
