To obtain an evergreen hardy and
satisfactory under the conditions ex-
listing in North Dakota has been one
of the objects of the forestry depart
ment. Many species have a varying
degree of hardness, depending upon
the region from which they are OBJ
tanned. Thus the red cedar brought
from Tennessee is tender in North
Dakota while taken from the northern
regions is one of the most reliable of
trees.
It is further noted that most of the
individuals of this species turn more Y
or less brown during the winter re-
Stunning their dark green color during
the spring r. MI
Along the Little Missouri in that
part Of the state known as the Bad
Lands, a strain OF the red cedar is !,
found differing in some important
particulars from the ordinary forms.
The color of many of these is of that !
clear silvery blue that characterizes
the Colorado Blue Spruce that has
been called the most beautiful ever
green in the world. The color of
these blue cedars OF the Bad Lands is
practically uniform throughout the
year. This with its fine feathery Il
foliage makes it tree of rare beauty.
Add to all this its extreme hardness
and symmetrical growth and one has
about all the qualities that can reason
ably be demanded. The hundred or
more specimens procured for the col
lege by the Messrs. Waldron and
Nugent two years ago have succeeded
SO well that a trip was made during
the week to secure another lot
SeVenty-fye fine specimens ranging In 81
height from Ave to seven feet were
obtained and are now on the way to
the station, where they will be grown
in nursery row for one year and will
then be uansplanted to the campus.
