CH ELM 
B ECAUSE of its beauty and extremely rapid growth, the Chinese Elm 
has become the leading shade tree of America. You will find it growing 
along the finest avenues of the cities of the east. You will find it everywhere 
thru the great central states from Canada to Mexico. It stands the extreme 
cold of North Dakota and the terrific heat of New Mexico equally well. 
For the alkali and dry sections of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, 
Nebraska and Colorado, this tree is a blessing. It thrives where the others die. 
Under ordinary conditions, the Chinese Elm will make a good shade tree 
in five short years, as it averages 5 feet growth a year. The picture shows 
what a beautiful tree it makes. Our trees are grown from seed from the best 
source, the genuine Ulmus Pumila, the purest strain of Chinese Elm in America.
