Green Ash—This tree takes the lead as an all- 
around windbreak tree. While it does not start as 
fast as the box elder, it gains gradually and sure- 
ly 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 cultivating. 
12-18 inch, 100 for $4.00; 18-24 inch, $5.00; 2-3 
feet, $6.00. 
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 
effective it is. 12-18 inch, 100 for $4.00; 18-24 
inch, 100 for $5; 2-3 ft., $6.00 
Hardin Manchurian Elm—Here we have a_ type 
of Chinese elm that appears to be entirely hardy. 
It has come through the past 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. These 
transplanted trees will give quick results. 100 for 
$10.00; 300 or more at $8.00 per 100; 12-24-inch 
seedlings, $6 for 100; 250 or more at $5 for 100. 
Cottonwood—Has its place in 9 mixed windbreak. 
18-24 inch, $3.25 per 100. 
Golden Willow—A very good windbreak tree 
except where there is alkali. A valuable trait 1s 
the nice golden color in winter. It is especially 
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. 
250 or more at $8.00 a hundred. 
White Spruce—3-year, 4-6 in., $10.00 for 100. 
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. 
Wild Plum—Useful as well as ornamental, this 
tree is being used more and more for windbreaks. 
In full blossom, the trees smell good; in full fruit 
they taste good, and stopping snow they look 
good. 12-18 inch, $5.00 for 100.
