A street planting of our American Elms at Lynchburg, Va. The trees when planted were iK to 2 inches in diameter of 

 trunk and have made this wonderful growth and splendid appearance in four seasons. 



Ulmus. The Elms 



THIS family of shade trees is perhaps most generally known by our native variety, the American 

 Elm, although there are European sorts as well as those of garden origin, all of which are useful in 

 their different places. The Elm Leaf Beetle, which is somewhat destructive in certain sections of the 

 country, can be kept in control by spraying. The cost of spraying is comparatively slight and can be 

 handled economically and very successfully. Cities and towns have been made famous for their wonder- 

 ful old Elms which over-arch their streets. People who plant now and care for their trees will in after 

 years enjoy the beauty of these majestic old favorites. 



American Elm. Ulmus Americana. (L). 

 This Elm, our most characteristic tree which arches 

 many New England streets, also grows well in other 

 sections. It is of massive proportions, long-lived 

 and the branches spread into graceful arches that 

 support a drooping canopy of foliage. The shade 

 is not so dense as to interfere with a good sod under- 

 neath. The heads are so open that electric wires 

 do not injure them, a desirable feature in street 

 trees. Its rapid growth and especial grace make it 

 unsurpass;d for urban and suburban planting.

Monumental Elm. var. Monumentalis. (M). 

 Leaves similar to the better known English Elm, 

 and not so likely to be attacked by insects as our 

 native Elm. The stock we offer has been grafted, 

 is pyramidal in outline, and will make splendid 

 formal effects.
