STARTED
On the Maher Farm Half Mile East
of Devils Lake ! :

was incorporated last week with John
w. Maher, Henry Hale, J. E. Maher
and William Schwartz as members.
The nursery will be situated on the !
Maher farm one half mile east of the
city and will comprise about eighty
acres Of the finest land In the whole
state Of North Dakota. The planting
of trees in this state has always been
a perplexing problem as the results
obtained from the large number Of
trees that have been planted have
been very small and should this new
venture of the Devils Lake Nursery
Company prove successful the people
of North Dakota will be able to pro-
: cure trees that have been matured in
this climate and will produce far great
;er results. The main trouble with the
planting Of trees in this state has
! always been that the people who
planted them always secured
I their trees from nurseries located in
much warmer climate and consequent
/ ly when they were brought to this
state where the, summer season is so
much shorter, the cold weather had
killed them before they had taken
root.
It is the intention of this nursery
to handle almost every kind of tree
suitable to this climate and they will
plant 100000 poplar and shade willows,
also 100000 ash, elm, soft maple,
mountain ash, linden, birch and box
elders. Already three acres of ash
and box elders have been planted, and
In the course Of a couple of years the
people of North Dakota will be able
to secure trees that have been fully
aclimated and they will run no risk
in planting them as they will be home
grown and not shipped from a warn
climate where the season is long ant
trees grow to greater height in hal
