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  canopy  of  foliage.    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. 
AMERICAN  ELM.  Ulmus  Americana.  (L) 
This  familiar  tree,  which  arches  many  New  England 
streets,  grows  well  in  other  sections.  Its  rapid 
growth  and  especial  grace  make  it  unsurpassed  for 
urban  and  suburban  planting.
