Gentlemen: 
Now as to the Lake City Elm, as you remem¬ 
ber, I took note of the comparison as to their 
drought resistance, with the Moline and also 
the American or common Elm. And as you re¬ 
member, they seemed to be suffering less than 
any others. You also well remember, I am sure, 
that you got the hardest jolt by dry weather 
last year, that you had ever experienced in the 
many years you have been connected with the 
nursery business. I observed the original tree 
on the streets in Lake City and will say that it 
is a tree to be admired, uniform, upright growth, 
yet with sufficient spread to render it a valuable 
shade tree. I would consider it very much more 
valuable than the common Elm and possibly 
the most valuable of any of the budded varieties 
that have as yet been brought out. 
Yours very truly,
