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 that 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. 5-7 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. 5-6 ft., $2.50. 
Weeping Birch—This 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 15 
years ago, and now he claims he has the _ nicest 
tree in town. 3-4 ft., $3.00; 5-6 ft., $6.00.
