Green Ash—This tree takes the lead as an all- 
around wnidbreak 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. 
18-24 inch, $5.00 for 100; 2-3 ft., $7.00 for 100. 
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. 18-24 inch, 100 for $5;.2-3 ft., $7. 
12-18 inches, $4.00. 
Caragana—Makes a good dense snowfence when 
grown, but does not grow as fast as honeysuckle. 
18-24 in., $7.00 for 100. 
Manchurian Elm—Due to a frost in Canada from 
where we get the seed, no seed was available two 
years ago so we have no seedlings. We do have 
a few 12-24 inch transplants at 15 cents each. 
As far as we can tell this is by far the best al! 
around windbreak tree for this territory. 
Cottonwood—Has its place in a mixed windbreak. 
2-3 ft., $5.00 per 100. 
Golden Willow—A very good windbreak tree 
except where there is alkali. A valuable trait is 
its nice golden color in winter. It is especially 
nice together with evergreens and birch. A wind- 
break should be ornamental as well as_ useful. 
2-4 ft., 100 for $10; 250 for $20.00. 
Honeysuckle—The variety White Belle is the 
fastest growing and best for windbreak and 
snowfence. County Agent Carl Ash of Crookston 
recommends it as the number one bush for his 
territory. 18-24 inch, 100 for $15.00; $4.00 for 25. 
Plant about 5 feet apart in rows. 
Honeysuckle Seedlings—Grown from seed, the 
flowers will be mixed colors, giving a pleasant 
variety. 12-24 inch, $12 for 100; 250 or more at 
10 cents each. 
Russian Olive—One of the most alkali-tolerant 
trees. Good for dry locations. Silver colored 
leaves stay on late. 12-18 inch, $6 for 100; 12-24 
in., $7.50; 2-3 ft., $10.00.
