Excerpt from The Relation of Forests to Farms, And, Tree Planting in the Western Plains
Considering first the species that are most available in the West, a series arranged with reference to shade endurance would read about as follows: (1) Box elder, Russian mulberry (red cedar, Douglas spruce, white spruce, Norway spruce); (2) black wild cherry; (3) hackberry; (4) silver maple; (5) bur oak; (6) green ash, catalpa (scotch pine, bull pine); (7) black walnut; (8) honey locust; (9) black locust (larch), and (10) cottonwood.
The best shade-enduring variety probably is the sugar maple. In the Dakotas and northern Nebraska the box elder answers tolerably well during youth, and is unquestionably the most available species for this purpose. Farther south the Russian mulberry may be sub stituted.
The relative shade endurance Of the conifers is indicated in paren theses in the above list, for the reason that the high prices charged for such trees have thus far prevented their extensive use in Western tree planting. For the same reason they have been given a much less important place in the planting schemes which follow than would otherwise have been warranted.
