LAUREL LEAF WILLOW—Laurel Leaf Willow is the best of 
the Willows for windbreak work. This quick growing variety 
has heavy, glossy, dark green foliage. Because its branches 
are so dense right from the ground up it is an ideal variety 
for the two outside rows of windbreak as a snow catch. 
Laurel Leaf holds its foliage late in the fall, thus giving 
added protection. 2-3 ft. well rooted, $6.50 per 100. 
RUSSIAN GOLDEN WILLOW—This fast growing Willow has 
attractive bright yellow bark. It is especially fine when 
planted in masses and is very colorful in winter. Hardy 
anywhere. 2-3 ft. well rooted. $6.00 per 100. 
AMERICAN . ELM—Selected upland strain. Recommended by the 
Conservation Department for shelterbelts and woodlots. Very 
hardy, long lived, beautiful. Will grow on almost any soil.

per 100. 
GREEN ASH—Most dependable of all trees for the windbreak 
or woodlot. Quick growing, long lived and excellent for lum- 
ber or fence posts. Will grow on almost any soil. Our strain 
of Ash is a hardy Dakota strain that has proven to be 
drought resistant, dense, and durable. Include Green Ash in 
your windbreak planting list. 2-3 ft. $4.50 per 100. 
HONEYSUCKLE BELLA ALBIDA—We have grown and _ used 
this shrub for windbreak since 1934. Very hardy and long 
lasting. The original plant that we started propagating from, 
growing near here, is over 50 years old and still in fine 
healthy condition. Planted 4 feet apart in the row, it will 
make a real “live” snow fence. It should be planted on the 
very outside, on the north and west of the grove. Strong one 
year old plants, 2-3 ft. branched $20.00 per 100; 18-24 inches,
