PROTECT YOUR LIVESTOCK AND TOUR HOME 
It took us some years to find out that “Pigs are not always 
Pigs.” I refer, of course, to the Chinese Elm. When we first 
started to grow them, the seed came from the Orient. The trees 
grew well, but only a part of them “Wintered.” Why? Why 
were some hardy and others not? Th e answer was that the seed 
was not All Northern Grown. 
NOW—ALL OF GURNEY'S SIBERIAN TYPE CHINESE 
ELM are grown from trees that have lived through the most 
severe wintets the Middle Northwest has ever experienced, 
and survived the Hot, Dry Years. We now KNOW!

GURNEY’S HYBRID SIBERIAN ELM 
GRAFTED SPECIMENS 
In these trees it seems that Nature has accomplished what is 
practically impossible to science. From the seed of the Siberian 
Elm, in 1934, we grew a tree that has all the appearance of the 
American Elm. Its leaves are four times as large as the Chinese 
Elm/.they are rough where the Siberian is smooth. The form of 
growth is like the American Elm, BUT —Its Speed of Growth is 
distinctly Siberian.
