Chinese Elm (Siberian Strain) 
The Wonder Tree That Grows as Fast as a Willow—is Hardy 
Everywhere, and as Graceful as a Birch. 
It has taken the country by storm—this beautiful, extremely hardy, 
rapid growing shade tree. In a single year it will grow 4 to 8 feet. It is 
bushy and compact by habit, making it an ideal windbreak or screen tree. 
Out on the arid western plains where few other trees exist, the Chinese 
Elm thrives remarkably well, while in fertile sections it grows as no 
other tree has ever grown. From North and South, East and West come 
the same glowing reports. 
Chinese Elm 
Norway Maple. 
As a lawn and shade tree it is perfect, growing compact and 
shapely, its slender, innumerable branches heavily covered with 
narrow, artistic leaves. It is one of the earliest to leaf out in 
the spring and the last to shed its foliage in the fall. We cannot 
recommend the Chinese Elm too highly, and we have a fine stock 
of them this year. Order early. 40 to 50 feet at maturity.
