Ulmus  •    The  Elms 
In  landscape  planting  the  Elm  is  the  most  general!)  useful  of  all  our  trees.  It  is  of  massive 
proportions,  long-lived  and  the  branches  spread  out  into  graceful  arches  that  support  a  drooping 
fringe  of  twigs.  The  heads  are  so  open  that  electric  wires  do  not  injure  them,  a  desirable 
feature  of  all  street  trees.  It  is  extensively  used  for  wide  lawns,  parks  or  public  grounds, 
over  which  they  cast  their  cooling  shade.  Grows  best  in  rich  soils.  Even  quite  large  trees  are 
easily  transplanted.    We  have  a  fine  stock  and  ofifer  many  large  specimens. 
Ulmas  Americana.    American  Elm.  This  tree,     Ulmus  campestris.  English  Elm.  Equally  fine 
which  arches  many  New  England  streets, 
grows  well  in  other  sections.  Its  rapid  growth 
and  especial  grace  make  it  unsurpassed  for 
semi-urban  and  suburban  planting.  It  is  less 
subject  to  the  attacks  of  the  Elm  leaf  beetle 
than  the  foreign  sorts.

Trees  of  Drooping  Habit 
The  landscape  artist  finds  trees  of  this  character  especially  valuable  for  contrast  and  variety  of 
form.  They  form  cool  green  tents  and  arbors  for  summer,  which  make  delightful  playgrounds  for 
children,  and  they  are  also  popular  for  cemetery  planting.  We  can  furnish  large  specimens  of 
nearly  all  varieties.  Among  the  Evergreens  are  other  trees  of  curious  weeping  form,  of  which  we 
offer  good  specimens  in  nearly  all  the  varieties.    Our  assortment  of  trees  of  this  class  is  unusually 
large  and  fine.
