Nursery company has succeeded.
x The field dor growth is practically
unlimited. Did you ever plant trees
and fruits here in the soils of the
prairie state, and then watch them
fade away and wither with the hot
blasts of summer, or die of the ex-
IRENE cold Of a northern winter? And
you have repeated the process per-
haps several times with the same re-
suits, all the time hoping that by
some miracle the time might come
when your home would be surrounded
by beautiful shade trees, giving you
protection from the summers sun and
winters cold blasts. But your. hopes
were futile, and it was not many years
before you realized that the trouble
was not with the soil, the climate, or
your methods of horticulture. You
did not have the trees and shrubs
adapted to the state. a. 49,.
Ri The men behind the Northwest Muir
sery company saw the possibilities in
furnishing q stock which would grow
in northern climate, and they set
about preparing for the demands of
years to come, when they could de-
liver tree or shrub which had been
grown from seed planted and accli-
mated to the temperatures OF the
northwest. They believed that if the
barren soil OF New England would
raise beautiful trees, the soil of North
Dakota, given an equal opportunity,
would do as we'll.
Their faith in North Dakota soil
and climate has been exemplified, and
today Northwest Nursery company
stock Is growing successfully in prac.
tically every city from the South Da'
kota line to Saskatchewan and Al
berta; and from Detroit, Mimi, to
Montana. Municipalities desiring to
beautify their public driveways and
thoroughfares are sending orders for
thousands Of trees every year; farm.
ers and homesteaders are taking time
by the foreloch, and setting out few
hundred trees on their prairie claims,
and educational institutions are using
this institution as . means to make
their schools more attractive to the
\ younger generation.
The variety OF trees and shrubs
grown Will astonish not only the
stranger, but hundreds OF residents of
their home city, who have never visit
ed the grounds Of the Northwest Muir
sery. Not combining themselves to
shade trees alone, the concern has ex-
perimented with fruits until today
apple, plum, currant, gooseberry and
beautiful stands Of strawberries may
be seen in profusion at the proper
seasons. Thousands OF thrifty cotton
woods, poplars, willows, box elders
and ash are grown every wear and
