(GledltS1a Ir1acantnOS)
A valuable hard wood tree, hardy
below 1000 feet elevation, and doing
we'll under irrigation or with twenty
or more inches of rainfall. Excellent
for posts and for other uses in con-
tract with the SOIL
Norway Maple
(Acer platinoides)
A handsome shade tree: Will do
we'll with twenty inches Of rainfall
or will grow rapidly under irrigation
and is generally frost-hardy. Water
should be turned off about the middle
of August.
Silver Maple
(Acer saccharinum)
A standard shade tree growing
more rapidly but under much the
same conditions as the Norway maple.
Sycamore Maple
(Acer pseudo-platanus)
An excellent tree for the moister
parts of the state. Will probably
do we'll under irrigation. Hardy I'M
der 1000 feet elevation.
Black Walnut
(Juglans nigra)
Valuable as shade and nut trees
and also for posts. May be grown
with 20 inches of rainfall or by means
of irrigation. Water should be turn
off about the first of August. Does
not mature nuts we'll at the higher
elevations.
Butternut
(Juglansr cinera)
Valuable for shade, nuts, or posts.
Requires about the same conditions
as the black walnut.
White Ash
(Fraxinus americana)
An excellent hardwood tree for
shade, posts, poles, or fuel. Wood
valuable where strength and elasti-
city are required. Tree hardy up to
elevations of $500 feet, but requires
good soil and plenty of moisture.
Red Oak
(Quercus rubra-
Highly ornamental in spring and
autumn. Hardy in all parts of Idaho.
Requires good soil and plenty OF
moisture.
Purple Willow Cuttings
(Salix americana var. purporea)
Require abundant moisture. Will
grow from three to six feet per year.
Make excellent windbreaks for orch
ards, buildings, or stock. Hardy in
all parts Of Idaho.
American Willow Cuttings
(Salix americana)
Will grow from two to four feet
per year in good soil with plenty Of
moisture. Make good windbreaks for
orchards, buildings, or stock. Hardy
In all parts of Idaho. Willows must
not be set close to bitches, as the
roots are apt to choke them up.
Austrian Pine
E (Pinus austriaca)
Valuable as an ornamental tree. or
as windbreak; rapid-growing and
hardy any place in the state. Will
thrive with twenty inches or more
of rainfall or under irrigation.
Jack Pine
(Pinus divaricata)
We recommend this pine as better
adapted to the dryer parts of southern
Idaho than any other. It will grow
on very sandy soil and make very
rapid growth on good soil. It has
not been tried under irrigation but
we are led to believe that it will
make strong growth. It is FROST
/ hardy at Moscow, and will probably
do we'll in all parts of the state at
elevations below $500 feet and where
the rainfall is fifteen inches or more.
Scotch Pine
(Pinus sylvestris)
This is a very hardy pine and has
4 been thoroughly tried out in Mos
cow. It has done we'll at various
points in the state and we recon-
mend it as suited to any elevation
where rainfall is fifteen inches or
more or under irrigation.
Douglas or Red Fir
(Pseudotsuga taxifolia)
We are growing both the coast and
the Rocky Mountain varieties of this
tree. We recommend both for the
northern part of the state, but only
the Rocky Mountain variety will grow
at any elevation and will respond
vigorously to irrigation. A valuable
tree for parks, windbreaks, and
woodlots.
