An Old Chinese Elm in the Lama Temple Yard, Pekin. 



The Chinese Elm (Ulj)ius pumila] has proven to be per- 

 fectly hardy in the North West and is attracting consider- 

 able attention because of its rapid growth and attractive 

 appearance. It cannot compare with the American elm as an 

 avenue tree but has a picturesqueness about it which will 

 make it a useful tree for dooryards and parks. Photo No.
