The Chinese Elm is a tree of rare beauty with fine 
dark green foliage of the Elm type with delicate fine 
twigs. It combines the beauty of the Elms with the 
gracefulness of Cut Leaf Birch. It resists drought and 
cold and thrives even on poor soil. It is a tree of rapid 
growth and holds its foliage until late in the fall. The 
most popular shade tree in America today. 
The U. S. Department of Agriculture Bulletin says: 
“Chinese Elm is a rapid grower with slender, almost 
wiry branches; is one of the first trees to leaf out in 
the spring and the last to shed its leaves in the fall. 
Remarkably free from the usual plant diseases and insect injury so common to the 
Elm. It is very hardy and has proven valuable under greater variations of climate 
and soil conditions than any tree yet introduced. Its resistance to drought, alkali 
and extremes of temperature render it especially valuable. The Chinese Elm is 
adapted to any part of the United States. For windbreak or screen, its natural habit 
of branching from the ground if left untrimmed, makes it especially desirable. It will 
thrive where other trees could never exist and will grow to a height of 60 feet, 
attaining a girth of 12 feet, though can be easily controlled by pruning.” 
For windbreaks and screen planting set 6 ft. apart in rows 12 ft apart. Culti' 
vate the first 2 years if possible, otherwise the rows should be heavily mulched.
