for $1.75; 50 for $3.25; 100 for $6.00. 
Recom- 
5603— American Elm *°°s™ 
for general woodlot planting. We supply many 
of them to park-managers for stocking of small 
nursery plots, and production of good shade 
trees. 18 to 24 inch, nice strong plants, 25 for 
$1.15; 50 for $2.00; 100 for $3.50. 2 to 3 ft.

doacacia. No 
other trees play such an important part in soil- 
conservation, esides being a producer of 
choice wood. Its roots hold the soil firmly on 
steep land. 12 to 18 inch plants 25 for $1.00; 
§0 for $1.75; 100 for $3.00. 
5618—Russian Olive [css 
folia. The slivery-gray foliage and twigs, al- 
ways free from insects or diseases, have made 
this hardy tree a favorite for small screens, and 
farm-hedges. Slightly thorny, produces berries 
for songbirds. For a 4 ft. hedge plant 8 inches 
apart, and shear like for Privets. For a tall 
screen plant 12 to 16 inches apart. 12 to 18 
an plants, 25 for $2.00; 50 for $3.75; 100 for 
5631—Lombardi Poplar

Lat as ‘ . Planting about 
59600—Chinese Elm: [679 70" 
apart, makes a rapid growing, stout hedge of 
4 io 5 ft. in height. Increase the space between 
fas for a taller hedge. For a tall screen of 
0 to 12 ft. height, the spacing should be 12 
to 16 inches apart. Perfectly hardy, extremely 
draught-resistant, a surprisingly fast grower.

[The most popular, and valuable hedge for field 
and live-stock enclosures. Also for the wood-lot

For mass plant- 
5634—Soft Maple i7 USS ia3e 
planting projects we have these special grades 
of light, but well rooted, nice trees. 3 to 4 ft., 
5 for 99c: 10 for $1.50; 25 for $3.25. 4 to 5 ft. 
trees, 5 for $1.35; 10 for $2.35; 25 for $5.00. 
This is the tall, spire shaped tree as listed on page 23. 
We also have this Poplar in a lighter grade, in order to 
make mass-planting possible, both, from the standpoint of easy 
lanting, and of low cost. For 
tall screens, along lanes, boundary lines, back-ground planting, where this tree is so indispensa- 
ble, these sizes will fit your budget. 3 to 4 ft. trees, nice and straight, 5 for $1.20; 10 for $2.00; 25 
for $4.00. 4 to 5 ft. trees, 5 for $1.35: 10 for $2.35; 25 for $5.00; all prepaid. 

Spacing for Windbreak 
Row-planting is best, the rows following the 
contour line. The rows from 12 to 18 feet apart. 
Space the small trees in the rows 3 ft. apart. 
As the trees grow up, and begin to touch, 
every second tree is cut out, and in such a Se- 
quence, that the trees remaining will stand al- 
ternated. Most windbreaks consist of 3 to 5 
rows. The row on the weather-side should con- 
tain either shrubs, or those types of trees which 
grow fairly bushy from the ground up, and 
this row is not thinned out. Russian Olive is 
one of the best for this purpose. Its dense 
branches from the ground up make a good 
“snow-trap.’’ The other rows may each be of 
a different variciy, changing to Black Locusts 
wherever the windbreak-belt crosses gullies, or 
runs over very steep ground.

Planting and Care 
A plow furrow will be deep enough for 
most all types of small trees planted in wood- 
lot or windbreak fashion. Saves the work of 
digging individual holes, shovel-work is needed 
only to cover the roots of each plant. An ap- 
plication of water to the furrow right after 
planting. or individual watering pays off well 
in a high rate of survival. The first and second 
year are important. Cultivation like for corn, to 
keep the ground fairly free from weeds, is a 
good practice. Any damaged tree. as by the 
cultivator, or rabbits, are cut back to the 
ground. They make a new start, and replace 
the lost growth in just one or two growing 
seasons. The growing of a timberlot or wind- 
break is the most promising project on your 
farm, and decidedly a mark of leadership in 
your vicinity.
