20 NORTHERN SEED COMPANY 
Chinese Elm—A fast growing tree, widely used for shade, wind- 
break and hedge. If desired for shade, branches must be kept 
pruned from the time they are small. They withstand drought 
well, and do not want to be watered late in fall. These trees grow 
so fast, we have found it the most economical to plant good seed- 
lings and keep them pruned. You will get a shade tree practi- 
cally as soon as if you plant a larger tree, and at much less ex- 
pense. Selected 3-4 ft. seedlings, each 20c; 10 for $1.50. Selected 
5-6 ft. seedlings, each 35c; 10 for $3.00. (Also see “hedging”’.) 
‘Cut Leaf Weeping Birch—An attractive ornamental tree. Silvery 
white bark, graceful drooping branches with deeply cut foliage. 
5-6 ft. size, each $3.25. 
American Linden—A fine pyrmidal shaped tree. While not a fast 
grower, it attains good size and makes an ideal tree for yard or 
curb. 5-6 ft. size, each $3.00. 
Norway Maple—A compact growing tree with broad dark green 
foliage. Very attractive. 5-6 ft. size, each $2.75. 
Silver or Soft Maple—A fairly fast growing tree, making a good 
appearance and excellent shade. 5-6 ft. size, each $1.50. 
Schwedler Maple—Its distinctive red foliage makes this tree most 
attractive where something “different” is wanted for yard or curb 
planting. 5-6 ft. size, each $3.00. 
Niobe Weeping Willow—Fast growing, hardy tree. 5-6 ft. size, 
each $1.25. 
An apple tree makes an excellent tree for back yard ornament and 
shade. We especially recommend the Yellow Transparent, the Whitney 
Crab, or the Dolga Crab for this purpose.
