Green Ash—This tree takes the lead as an all- 
around windbreak tree. While it does not start as 
fast as a box elder, it gains gradually and surely 
and is a very dependable tree. Green ash should 
be planted about 4 feet apart in a row. Distance 
between rows may be from 8 to 14 feet, depend- 
ing’ on the equipment to be used for cultivat- 
ing. Our northern grown trees are sturdier and 
have a better root than the southern grown,. 6-12 
inch, $1.75 per 100; 12-18 inch, 100 for $3.50; 18- 
24 inch, $4.50; 2-8 ft., $5.50. 
American Elm—tThe 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. 12-18 inch, 100 for $3.50; 18-24 inch, 
100 for $4.50. 
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; 2-3 ft., $5.50. 
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 espcial- 
ly nice together with evergreens and birch. A 
windbreak should be ornamental as well as use- 
ful. 3-4 ft.,100 for $10.00. 
Honeysuckle—This we believe is the very best 
shrub to use as a snowfence and also 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. 
Spruce White—This is the most satisfactory 
evergreen for windbreaks. On light soils 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 $4.00; . 
100 for $15.00. 
Russian Olive—One of the most alkali-tolerant 
trees. Good for dry locations. Silver colored 
leaves stay on late. 12-18 inch $5.50 a hundred. 
Cottonwood—Has its place in a mixed windbreak. 
18-24 in., $3.00 per 100.
