Chinese Elm 
_ CHINESE ELM 
The Fastest Growing Permanent 
Tree Known 
This remarkable Elm for street and lawn is fast 
becoming the leading Elm throughout America. 
It grows faster, is more drouth resistant, longer 
lived, grows larger and is hardier than any other 
shade or street tree grown. It is much finer than 
the ordinary Elm, the foliage is fine and feathery, 
a bright green, and very dense, and the branches 
make almost right angles with the trunk instead 
of being in sprays like the common Elm. 
This tree has been sweeping the country by 
leaps and bounds, because of its fast growth, 
drouth resistance, and resistance to the Dutch Elm 
Disease, which is rapidly killing so many of the 
old common American Elm in many parts of the 
country. 
We have a splendid stock this year that we are 
proud to be able to offer to you at prices so low, 
yet consistent with its quality. 
In Chinese Elm transplanted trees we have an 
exceptionally fine, large block of trees which we 
must move this year to make room for new stock.

CARAGANA or SIBERIAN PEA TREE 
THE BEST WINDBREAK AND HEDGE PLANT FOR NORTHWEST PRAIRIES 
By far the hardiest and best windbreak and 
hedge plant for the most exposed prairies is 
Caragana, and one which will endure severe 
drouth. This plant is recognized by the Cana¬ 
dian Government as the best snow-catcher and 
hedge plant for Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and 
Alberta. Its full name is Caragana arborescens, 
the latter name referring to the tree-like habit. 
It is not really a tree but a shrub of tree-like 
habit growing to a height of about twenty feet 
when not trimmed. 
In Russia, Siberia, and northern Europe gen¬ 
erally, Caragana is the great favorite for hedges 
and for single specimens or in groups on the 
lawn. 
Throughout the Northwest generally, Caragana 
is found especially desirable as a protecting 
hedge around gardens and orchards on exposed 
prairies. This makes a tight wind-proof wall of 
living green foliage in summer and in the winter 
the tough branches resist the drifting snow and 
do not break down as do so many other shrubs 
and trees. The great value of Caragana is out¬ 
standing and It should be on every lawn, be¬ 
cause of its utility, its beautiful green foliage, A Trimmed Hedge to Surround the Lawn 
feathery leaves, and abundant yellow blossoms. 
The stock we have to offer is young, strong, thrifty, and has all been headed back, thus an excel¬ 
lent root system, nicely branched plants and a rapid sure growth are assured.
