The elm tree is used for a shade. The white and black elm are used 

 for medicinal purposes. The elm wood, when acid is put with it, looks like 

 mahogany. The city of New Haven is called City of Elms. The elm thrives 

 best on sandy soil. The Washington Elm is so called because Washington 

 took command of the Continental Army under it in July, 1775. James 

 Russell Lowell's heme is called Elmwood because there are so many elms in 

 the yard. The elm tree lives to be very old.
