Shade trees are easy to grow, if you 
plant trees that have been transplanted. 
My shade and flowering trees are all spec¬ 
imens with big, heavy, thrifty roots and 
shapely tops. Every one has been trans¬ 
planted at least once. 
The most rapid growing tree is the new 
Sensational Chinese Elm. Not far behind 
in rapidity of growth is the Moline Elm 
and American Elm. The Willows and 
Poplars are fast growers, too. 
An outstanding flowering tree is the 
new Hopa Red Flowering Crab. The most 
beautiful Ornamental Trees, I think, are 
the Cut Leaf Weeping Birch. Catalpa 
Bungei or Umbrella Catalpa, American 
Linden, Schwedler’s Maple, European 
Mountain Ash, American Sycamore and 
Teas Weeping Mulberry.

Chinese Elm 
Quickest growing shade tree. Drought 
resisting, hardy. Despite the tremendous 
heat of last year, my Chinese Elm cus¬ 
tomers report unusual success. In spite 
of drought, heat or alkali soil it grows 
from 6 to 8 feet per season. Where other 
trees die out, Chinese Elm thrives year 
after year. Temperatures way below zero, 
as well as hot, dry temperatures, have 
no effect on Chinese Elm. It grows on 
light, sandy soil, too, and is an ideal 
grower everywhere. 
This strain of Chinese Elm I offer you 
is the genuine, small leaved Northern 
China type; the hardiest and most desir¬ 
able of all. It is not unusual for me to 
reoeive reports from my customers telling 
that their small leaved Chinese Elm tree 
planted last spring grew six feet in one 
season. 
For windbreak, Chinese Elm gives the 
quickest and best results. Do not prime 
Chinese Elm, if you want them for a wind¬ 
break because their natural habit of 
growth is to make a dense, bushy growth 
from the ground all the way up. 
These trees I offer you are nursery 
grown, vigorous rooted, have been trans¬ 
planted, and I honestly believe that they 
will give you better results than any 
other Chinese Elm you can buy. 
Birch, Cut-Leaf Weeping 
Most Beautiful Tree of All 
This is the tree with the beautiful white 
bark. It is a natural weeper. The young 
tree has speckled grayish-red bark which 
turns to white as the tree gets three or 
four years old. Our stock is spring-dug, 
fresh, and you should plant without ex¬ 
posing the roots to sun or wind. It's a 
good idea to wrap the Cut-Leaf Weeping 
Birch with wet burlap when planting and, 
of course, give it lots of water.

American Sycamore 
AMERICAN SYCAMORE. One of the 
most interesting and beautiful of our 
native American trees. It is also known 
as the American Plane tree. It has 
large, handsome leaves. The bark is 
smooth, light color—almost cream color. 
The tree is a very straight upright grow¬ 
er. It grows rapidly, too. Hardy as far 
North as the Minnesota line. One of 
our most desirable shade trees.

AMERICAN ELM 
Chosen One of America’s 3 Most Popular 
Trees 
A GREAT TRIBUTE TO A GREAT TREE 
In a poll conducted by the National Life 
Conservation Society the AMERICAN ELM 
was chosen by nearly three million Amer¬ 
ican citizens as one of the 3 most popular 
trees. The “Big Tree Sequoia Gigantea” 
was first with 788,115 votes, American 
Elm second, 754,756 votes, and the Pine 
third, 666,677. The Sequoia Big Tree is 
grown only in the Sierra Nevada Moun¬ 
tains while the American Elm can be 
grown over a wide territory. 
For roadside plantings, streets, avenues, 
boulevards, and for shade, nothing com¬ 
pares with the wide branched spreading 
habits of the American Elm. Outside of 
Chinese Elm, this is probably our most 
rapidly growing tree. I believe it gives 
more shade than any other tree in this 
territory. 
My stock is transplanted, well devel¬ 
oped. symmetrical and will make lots of 
shade for you in just a few years.
