Ulmus  •  The  Elms 
In  landscape  planting  the  Elm  is  generally  useful.   It  is  of  massive  proportions,  long-lived  and  the 
branches  spread  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.
