ness. It is a favorite at the Morden, Manitoba 
station where it has been grown for’ several 
years. Because the plants set so many runners 
they should be planted further apart than others. 
We set them at least three feet apart in the rows. 
Anton Eid, a grower near Gary, says his custom- 
ers come back for more Arrowhead. 25 for $1.25; 
50 for $2.10; 100 for $4.00 postpaid; 1000 for 
$25.00 not prepaid. 
Shade and Ornamental Trees 
“It’s not a home until it is planted” 
And the first thing to plant should be a tree. It 
takes longer for a tree to become effective, so the 
sooner it is planted the better. In planting large 
trees it is very important that they have good 
root systems. This means they must have 
enough of the fine feeder roots to give them a 
good start. We cut the roots of the trees in the 
nursery row often enough to produce plenty 
fibrous roots. As an added service, we prune the 
trees properly before shipping. 
Green Ash—A good tree to grow where space is 
limited. It grows tall, but does not have a wide 
top. Has good fall colors. Not bothered much by 
insects and diseases. 6-8 ft., $1.50. 
Birch, White—Always good looking, but particu- 
larly so in the winter time if planted together 
with evergreens, golden willow and red dogwood 
The well landscaped campus at the Northwest 
School at Crookston has several groups of birch 
effectively arranged. 6-8 ft., $3.00. 
Weeping Birch—tThis aristocrat of the lawn 
grows fast if kept well watered. One of the most 
difficult to start, but well worth trying. Ray 
Betcher of Ada planted a small tree about 12 
years ago, and new he claims he has the nicest 
tree in town. 
Hopa Crab—When this tree is at its best, it is 
the prettiest thing imaginahle. The tlowers are 
dark pink and just cover the tree. It is especially 
nice when planted near other white flowering ap- 
ple trees. It is an excellent pollinator for other 
apple trees. The best specimen we know of is the 
one on the lawn of Mrs. A. L. Hanson in Ada. 
This one is worth traveling miles to see when it 
is in blossom. 4-5 ft., $1.50; 5 to 6 ft., each $2.00. 
American Elm—tThe standard shade and _ boule- 
vard tree. The 8 to 10-ft. size is perhaps the 
best average size to use. Each $2.00; 6-8 ft., 
51.50; 5-6 ft., $1.00.
