Box Elder—Although a scrubby looking tree and 
subject to bugs, it is still a good windbreak and 
snowfence tree because of its bushy growth. 
Grows fast when young. 12-18 inches, 100 for 
$3.50. 18-24 inch, 100 for $4.50. 
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: 2-3 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 $5.50; 18-24 inch, 
100 for $4.50. 
Hardin Manchtrian Elm—Here we have a type 
of Chinese elm that appears to be entirely hardy. 
It has come through the past hard winters here 
without damage as it has in Canada from where 
we got the seed. These sturdy well-rooted trees 
will be spring dug and in top condition. 
A check on windbreak trees in the Red River 
Valley will show that the old Chinese elm, even 
though half dead, is still the quickest and most. 
effective snowfence. 12-18 inch, 100 for $3.50; 
18-24 inch, $4.50. 
Cottonwood—Has its place in a mixed windbreak. 
18-24 in., $3.00 per 100. 
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 especial- 
ly nice together with evergreens and birch. A 
windbreak should be ornamental as well as use- 
ful. 3-4 ft., 100 for $10; 250 for $20.00. 
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 in., $12 for 100. Plant 4 feet apart.
