GLEN’S NORTH ^HINA STRAIN OF 
CHINESE ELM HAS SPEED AND HOW 
And Is It Hardy f 
Our North China Strain of Chinese Elm is accustomed to a 40 mile gale roaring across the Siberian steppes at 40 de¬ 
grees below zero. It can take it and like it. 
The small tree shown on the right is an American Elm plant¬ 
ed in 1917. It was 6 to 8 feet high when planted. The large 
tree on the left is the North China Strain of Chinese Elm 
planted in 1918 when but three feet tall. The picture was 
taken in August, 1930. The Chinese Elm is twelve years old 
and the American Elm thirteen years old. These trees were 
planted by Mr. W. E. Guthrie, Bridgeport, Nebraska, who 
supplied the photograph. The American Elm has been planted 
a year longer and was twice as large when planted, but the 
Chinese Elm has considerably outstripped it in growth. 
Illustrated 2 of our Chinese Elms planted 5 years 
ago when 4 fU tall. These trees are now 40 feet 
tall and are planted in front of the residence of Dr. 
Clarence Thomas, Greenfield Lane, Rochester, N. Y.

Grape Vines That Have Had Three Full Growing Seasons,

We offer for Spring planting a limited quantity but very choice 
varieties. These beautiful plants with roots that have had three 
entire years’ growth at only

There are three choice black varieties, six very fine red varie¬ 
ties and the best, in our opinion, white variety. 
No fruit has attained a higher degree of perfection than the Grape, and 
nothing can be had at so trifling an expense, which is at the same time so 
healthful and refreshing. 
It may be planted in many places otherwise waste. It may be trained 
along the side of a building, or upon a fence that is intended to screen un¬ 
sightly objects. It is an ornamental vine along the side of a back veranda, 
or trained to cover an arbor in the comer of the garden or retired part of the 
lawn. Or it may be trained upon a trellis in rows. Grapes should be planted 
about ten feet apart, in rows of about the same distance. 
We offer the following EXTRA CHOICE varieties:

Their great height, dense slenderness and somber silhouette against the skyline, 
creating an impressive picturesque old-world effect. 
Grows from 40 to 80 feet in height. It is extensively planted in fine estates, along 
driveways and for backgrounds. Gives a most artistic effect as it catches the eye from 
a far distance, on account of standing out prominently against the sky line. Its 
branches are crowded, all growing upward. Fills a place that no other tree can fill. 
The selective appreciation of trained landscape builders is getting this fine type 
into much more general use. Old trees which were thoughtfully placed, are outstanding 
landmarks today. 
The LOMBARDY POPLAR planted 8 ft. apart makes an excellent hedge or 
windbreak. Why should you wade through snow when you can grow a fine windbreak 
in 2 or 3 years by planting LOMBARDY POPLAR.

LOMBARDY 
POPLAR 
We are going to call your attention to this matter of there being two strains of Chinese Elm in this country. As stated the first 
trees were introduced by the Government through their Chico station in California. These trees were gathered in north western China 
and Manchuria. After they had made a name for themselves nurserymen wanted a source of supply from seed and the easiest 
available one was the Nanking University. A great bulk of seedling trees in this country is seed gathered near Nanking. This strain 
does not do the same as our hardy North China strain as introduced by Mr. Meyer, and we know of one Nurseryman who des¬ 
troyed a field of over 100,000 trees, costing the nursery several thousand dollars to learn the difference between the genuine North 
China Strain and the Nanking strain. 
Who wants to wait for 10 years for shade that may be had in 5. Our Siberian Elm not only gives you quick shade 
but beauty as well and at small cost. Just think of it, a tree as hardy as an Oak, as graceful as a Cut Leaf Birch and fas¬ 
ter growing than the Carolina Poplar with none of the undesirable root characteristics of the Poplar. It is strictly an Elm 
but the fastest growing tree we have ever seen. It grows rapidly even in poor soil. The Chinese Elm is here to stay. It 
is sweeping this country by storm. We receive thousands of letters from our customers who have planted our North 
China Strain of Chinese Elm but only have room to reprint a few as follows: 
From C. D. Madden, Clarksville, Ohio. ‘‘About 4 years ago we|' 
bought a 6 ft. Chinese Elm from you which has now reached the I 
height of almost 30 feet. Everyone comments on its beauty and howi 
fast it has grown.” j 
From W. E. Straup, Circulation Mgr., The FarmersGuide, Hxmt-| 
ington, Ind. “We already have 20 of your Chinese Elm Trees on^ourt 
place and like them very much. They are all you claim for them. ’ 1 
From Mrs. C. Frank Dolman, 1724 Beaver St. Parkersburg, W.j 
Va. “We bought 2 Chinese Elms from your nursery in Spring, 1932.1 
They are now large, fine shade trees and admired by everyone. They 
are a beautiful shape.” s 
From Mrs. George R. Taggert, 613 Maryland Ave., Adams, Pa. 
“My Chinese Elm is growing beautifully and is a most graceful and 
beautiful shade tree.” 
Prom H. R. Clark, Adrian State Bank Bldg., Adrian, Mich. “I 
want to take this occasion to tell you the Chinese Elm which I pur¬ 
chased from you 4 or 5 years ago has grown from a tree 4 to 5 ft. in 
height to a large tree. I will not dare to give you the size but it is 
a wonderful tree and already affords a nice amount of shade.” 
From E. C. Holt. 702 North Carolina Bank and Trust Bldg., 
Burlington, N. C. “Please send me 10 Chinese Elms, 5-6 ft. Please 
give me good selection as I want most of these for my neighbors. 
We are amazed at the growth of the one I bought from you several 
years ago.” 
From Mr. George Simmons, 70 Mount Pleasant Ave., Troy, N. Y. 
“I have one of your Chinese Elms which I purchased about 3 years 
ago. It has grown splendidly and makes a great deal of shade. The 
tree is now about 28 ft. tall.”
