ELM, AMERICAN WHITE 
Elm Cannot Be Shipped Into Canada 
The Elm from Northern seed, such as we grow 
here, is always hardy. It grows into a beautiful 
spreading tree that will live longer than several 
generations of people and increases in beauty 
each year. It is free from diseases and insects, 
and wind seldom if ever breaks or damages it. 
This is the most popular of all street trees. It is 
planted over a wider range of country for orna¬ 
mental and shade purposes than any other tree.

HACKBERRY 
(Celtis Occidentalis) 
The Hackberry is a native well into the Da¬ 
kotas, and there are wonderful specimens of 
thesegrowipg along the rivers, creeks and ravines. 
It is a perfectly hardy, rapid growing, beautifully 
shaped tree. When planted alone, allowing it to 
have plenty of room for spread, it forms into the 
best-shaped of any of the hardwood trees. It 
is well to give it considerable room in planting. 
Heavy winds will not break them. Second only 
to Chinese Elm in drought resistance. 
I am showing here the picture of a Hackberry 
tree in front of the telephone office at Yankton, 
South Dakota. This tree spreads more than 40 
feet, is a perfect globe, and is noticed and com¬ 
mented on by practically every visitor to this city. 
RED BERRIED mountain ash 
Hardy tree; head dense and regular, beautiful 
fern-like green foliage; covered from July till 
winter with clusters of bright red berries. The 
combination of foliage and clustered fruits 
makes this one of the most striking and beautiful 
trees that grow. TTach ? 5

• TREE OF HEAVEN -Chinese 
(Allanthus)— A beautiful tree, that is a very 
rapid grower. The foliage is a rich green, very 
much resembling the leaf arrangement of the 
Black Walnut. It is used very extensively in 
some cities because it resists smoke better than 
many other trees and is not attacked by insects. 
If plants are cut back to the ground after they 
have become established they will throw up 
strong shoots and make an excellent screen.
