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 iare 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 coun- 

 try, 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 wonderful 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 sec- 

 tions. 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 underneath. 

 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 unsurpassed 

 for urban and suburban planting.
