Norway Pine 
garden for at least two years before being used in the shelter belt. They can be 
planted close together (from 4 to 8 inches). Shading is not necessary. Transplants 
are ready for planting in the permanent shelter belt. They have been grown in the 
open field for 3 years in addition to 2 or 3 years in the seed beds. They have an 
abundance of fibrous roots and are well branched. 
SHELTER BELT EVERGREENS 
Arborvitae, American. You will find this Evergreen tolerant of shade and various soil 
conditions. It will grow in wet or swampy places where other Evergreens will fail. It is ex- 
cellent for filling up holes in a shelter belt because it can withstand shade. Height 30 feet. 
Norway Spruce in Shelter Belt 

Bailey’s shelter belt stock is especially selected for this 
typé of planting. The small sizes are favored because 
they save you time, money and effort. All the plants 
are from hardy stock and have strong, well developed 
root systems. 
SHELTER BELT EVERGREENS 
Evergreens are essential to a good shelter belt planting. 
They may be used alone if the site does not permit 
establishment of the standard shelter belt. Consider- 
able protection can be obtained from a three-row plant- 
ing of Evergreens with Fir or Spruce on the outside 
row, Pine in the center row, and Spruce on the inside 
row. They should be spaced as recommended for Ever- 
greens in the standard plan. In plantings of less than 
three rows, the effectiveness is greatly reduced when 
a tree dies. More rows are preferred. 
SEEDLINGS OR TRANSPLANTS 
Seedlings are offered for those who wish to reduce the § 
cost of the shelter belt or to have replacement stock on 
hand. Seedlings should be set out in the ‘ 
Fir, Douglas. One of the best 
trees for the shelter belt is this fast 
growing Fir. It will grow in various 
soils, but it does best in well drained 
soils. Height 50 to 60 feet. 
Junipers. Both the Red Cedar and 
the Silver Cedar are available for 
shelter belt plantings. They are long 
lived, shade tolerant, and will with- 
stand a variety of soil conditions. 
Silver Cedar is similar to the Red 
Cedar excepting that it is of a sil- 
very color. Height 20 to 30 feet.

Pine, Jack. This fast growing Pine is very hardy and 
will thrive on soils too poor for other Pines. Height 50 
Pine, Norway. The Norway Pine will grow in a wide 
variety of soils. It does well on sandy soils and is cap- 
Pine, Ponderosa. Many know this vigorous, drouth- 
resisting tree as the “Bull Pine’. It is probably the best 
Pine, White. This well known Pine is excellent for 
shelter belt planting; it is easily transplanted, has long 
life and is capable of rapid growth. Height 70 to 80
