Tree of Rare Grace and Beauty — Grows as Fast as a Willow — Hardy Everywhere 
No tree has swept the whole cotintry in favor as 
has this beautiful, supremely hardy, rapid cproYring 
Chinese Elm. In a single year it will grow 4 to 8 feet. 
It is one of the earliest to leaf out in the spring and 
the last to shed its foliage in the fall, thus increasing 
the year's growing season 3 or 4 weeks. During the 
past few years, our Chinese Elm have withstood ex¬ 
cessive heat and drought conditions better than any 
other tree. 
western plains where few other trees exist, it thrives 
■remarkably well, while in fertile sections it grows 
as no other tree has ever grown. Our trees are ex¬ 
pertly grown in the North, and from northern seed; 
they are of the Siberian or North China strain, which 
is the most rapid growing as well os the hardiest 
type. This season our stock of Chinese Elm is very 
large and exceptionally fine; we ore offering them at 
rernorkably low paices, so order early. 
A Perfect Law a Tree —Its delicate fine twigs, heav¬ 
ily covered with narrow dark green leaves, give it 
the lovely gracefulness of the Birch. It grows com¬ 
pact and shapely, supplying luxuriant shade in a few 
short years. 50 to 60 feet at maturity. 
From all sections of the country come the same 
glowing reports on our Chinese Elm; out on the arid

to you that the 3 Cut-leaf Weeping

mires them, and they are more than 
twice as tall and in splendid con¬

gone through two years of drought. 
I am enclosing an order.
