Windbreaks consist of one or several rows. Where 
several rows are used, the lower growing variety is 
placed on the outside, or windward side. Caragana, for 
example, and graduating with a taller variety, such as 
Russian Olive, and a still taller variety on the inside, 
such as Chinese Elm. For average conditions, and 
especially on dryland, Chinese Elm from 6 to 12 ft. 
apart, Russian Olive from 5 to 10 ft. apart and Cara- 
gana from 8 to 5 ft. apart are the outstanding varieties. 
Further description of the following varieties is 
noted in listing of large landscape sizes under trees 
and shrubs. 
BARBERY, Thunbergi. Low trimmed hedges or in- 
formal hedge. Not so successful at higher altitudes 
or in strongly alkaline soils. 
CARAGANA. Trimmed hedge 2% to 5 ft. Screen, 
border or windbreak. 
CHINESE ELM 
The use of Chinese Elm for windbreaks has 
exceeded that of any other decidous variety in 
the plains area the past 15 years or more be- 
cause of rapid growth, drouth resistance and 
thick branching habit. Also used for quick 
growing trimmed hedges of 4 to 7 ft.

border. Absolutely hardy and will grow in most soils.

Privet fails.
