Windom, Minn. 
Hearing you talk over the radio about the Chinese 
Elm, I will say this, that I think that they are the 
best tree I ever planted. I set out 250 Siberian 
Chinese Elms 2 years ago last spring and they made 
a growth of 12 to 16 feet. I am going to set out 1,000 
more this spring, also a variety of other trees.

HYBRID CHINESE ELM-GRAFTED 
We never reach perfection in anything. 
If we did, all progress would die. Although 
the Chinese Elm approaches perfection as 
a general utility tree for middle Northwest, 
we believe there is room for improvement. 
The Chinese Elm crosses naturally with the 
American White Elm. From these natural 
crosses, we have grown Hybrids, some of 
which have shown decided merit. They 
take on the graceful habit of the American 
Elm and still grow as fast as the Chinese. 
We have retained this habit and form of 
growth and by grafting or budding on 
, Chinese Elm roots, have given them the 
speed, hardiness, and drought-resistance 
of the Chinese Elm. We believe these are—
