The Chinese Elm Grown Bushy for Hedge Purposes 
It is found after thorough trial that the Chinese Elm 
makes one of the finest of hedges. Especially desirable for 
states of slight rainfall and where extreme hardiness is 
required. 
The hedge limbs clear to the ground, is a bright rich 
green from very early in the spring, as it is much earlier 
than other hedges and carries its foliage, which colors with 
frost, way into the fall. 
Trim same as privet or other similar hedges. 
We believe Chinese Hedgewood is going to take the 
place of Privet as a hedge for the entire north part of the 
country. 
Plant one foot apart.

The Chinese Elm as a tree comes from the cold dry 
regions of Northern China and Southern Northeastern 
Siberia. It is consequently very hardy and a splendid 
tree for use in the drier portions of our country. 
Since its introduction but a few years ago it has 
gained a wonderful popularity and is now growing all 
over the United States. No new tree ever grew into 
popular favor so rapidly. 
It is a beautiful tree with fine elmdike foliage 
which appears very early in the spring and re- 
mains long into the fall and until most other trees 
have dropped their leaves, at the same time tak- 
mg on wonderfully rich tints of color. 
It is a very rapid growing tree and soon makes 
a large tree 60 ft. tall. 
Naturally it limbs close to the ground and because of 
this fact and its dense limb growth it makes a wonderful 
windbreak tree. For windbreak purposes no other tree can 
be found that will compare with it. 
Because of its rapid growth and its great beauty, it is 
especially adapted to street planting and for individual 
trees on the lawn. 
Since the introduction of the Dutch Elm disease the chances 
are that our American Elm are doomed. The Chinese Elm is 
said to be immune from the Dutch Elm disease.

Chinese Elm Windbreak 
The Chinese Elm has proven itself the greatest of all for wind¬ 
break trees. It is extremely hardy, especially hardy in dry parts 
of the country where windbreaks are most needed. Grows as fast 
as a Poplar and branches right to the ground. Many 5 to 6 ft. 
trees will reach 15 ft. in 2 years. We have an immense stock of 
well grown windbreak trees priced as follows:
