• THRIVES ON POOR SOILS—If you have failed with other shade trees and hedges, 
plant Chinese Elm. Requires no coaxing or fertilizing.

plants perish for want of sunlight.

and foliage of the 4 year old tree shown at 
the left. Chinese Elm combines rapid growth

tion. Set plants 9-12 inches apart for single 
hedge. Alternate them 9-12 inches apart in 
two rows for an extra wide hedge. Use 
12-18 or 18-24 inch plants for hedging. Cut 
back tops to 6 inches after setting, to cause 
plants to branch thickly from the bottom. 
Recommended for lawn specimens, street 
trees, and park plantings. Use sizes 4-5 foot 
up for shade trees. They are nicely 
branched and trimmed, extra well-rooted 
and guaranteed to grow. 
SCREENING PURPOSES — Plants form a 
dense screen when set 12-18 inches apart in 
a row. Hide undesirable views in the alley 
or farm yard. Serve as a fence between 
farm fields. Heading the plants back from 
center-top causes free branching, like the un¬ 
dipped specimen shown at lower left. Use 
18-24 inch or 2-3 foot plants for this purpose.
