Excerpt from Ontario Agricultural Commission, Vol. 3 of 5: Appendices C to S Inclusive, Containing Evidence Taken by the Commissioners, Special Reports, Etc, , Appendices C to F I think if I were planting merely for the sake of sheltering my orchard I would plant only evergreens, of two or three rows in width, and I know of no tree which is so cheaply obtained, and grows so rapidly and makes so complete a wind break, as the Norway spruce. It is grown by nurserymen both in Europe and America by millions. They can be bought from one to two feet high for $10 or $15 a hundred, and if taken younger can be bought for still less. The reason I prefer. Evergreens is that shelter is wanted much more in winter than in summer, and our deciduous trees are very little shelter in winter, and they do not benefit the evergreens if mixed with them 3 in fact in my opinion they interfere with their dense growth and beauteous appearance. They grow more rapidly than the evergreens, and are apt to overshadow them and injure their growth. I should certainly prefer not to mix them.
