NORTHERN STRAIN 



LM 



Grows 20 feel in Four Years 



Because of its beauty and extremely rapid growth, Chinese 

 Elm has become a leading shade tree of America. It is planted 

 in every state, and like its native country of Korea, with- 

 stands intense cold and extreme heat. It makes excellent 

 shade in five short years, averaging about 5 feet growth 

 annually. It is by far the fastest growing hard-wooded shade 

 tree. It resembles the American Elm except the leaves are 

 smaller, with the gracefulness of a cut-leaf Birch.
