WERING TREES 
♦ 
Schwedler's Red Maple 
Ea 
Cool summers are yours if you have lots 
of shade around the house. Plant some of 
my shade trees. They have all been trans¬ 
planted at least once and have mature 
roots. They are all specimens with big, 
heavy, thrifty roots and shapely tops. Be 
comfortable and plant lots of Shade Trees. 
Fast Growers 
Chinese Elm grows 6 to 8 feet a season. 
Not far behind it in rapidity of growth is 
the Moline Elm and American Elm. The 
Willows and Poplars are fast growing, too. 
Unusual and Beautiful Trees 
An unusual and outstanding flowering 
tree is Hopa, the Red Flowering Crab. 
For beauty, plant the Cut Leaf Weeping 
Birch, American Linden, Schwedler’s Ma¬ 
ple, American Sycamore and Fire Tree. 
Chinese Elm 
Cut-Leaf Weeping Birch 
Most Beautifiil Tree of All 
Quickest growing shade tree. Drouth 
resisting and hardy year after year. My 
Chinese Elm customers report unusual 
success with my trees. In spite of drouth, 
heat or alkali soil it grows from 6 to 8 
feet per season. Where other trees die 
out, Chinese Elm thrives year after year. 
Temperatures way below zero as well as 
hot, dry temperatures, have no effect on 
Chinese Elm. It grows and thrives on 
light sandy soil, too. It is an ideal grower 
everywhere. 
This strain of Chinese Elm I offer you 
is the genuine, small leaved Northern 
China type; the hardiest and most beauti¬ 
ful of all. It seems to grow a little 
quicker, too. 
For windbreak, Chinese Elm gives the 
quickest and best results. Do not prune 
Chinese Elm, if you want them for a wind¬ 
break because their natural habit of 
growth is to make a dense, bushy growth 
from the ground all the way up. 
These trees I offer you are nursery 
grown, vigorous rooted, have been trans¬ 
planted, and I honestly believe that they 
will give you better results than any 
other Chinese Elm you can buy.

Plant Early 
This is the tree with the beautiful white 
bark. It is a natural weeper. The young 
tree has speckled grayish-red bark which 
turns to white as the tree gets three or 
four years old. Our stock is spring-dug, 
fresh, and you should plant without ex¬ 
posing the roots to sun or wind. It’s a 
good idea to wrap the Cut-Leaf Weeping 
Birch with wet burlap when planting and, 
of course, give it lots of water.

most beautiful. It is a very rapid, 
straight, upright grower and hardy as 
far north as the Minnesota line.

AMERICAN ELM 
Chosen One of America’s 3 Most Popular 
Trees 
The National Life Conservation Society 
conducted a poll and the AMERICAN ELM 
was chosen by nearly three million Amer¬ 
ican citizens as one of our 3 most popu¬ 
lar trees. 
The Big Tree Redwood was first with 
788,115 votes: American Elm second, 754,- 
756 votes; the Pine was third, 666,677 
votes. As you know, the Redwood Big 
Tree is grown only in the Sierra Nevada 
Mountains, while the American Elm is and 
can be grown most everywhere. 
A GREAT TRIBUTE TO A GREAT TREE 
These American citizens have paid a won¬ 
derful tribute to this great tree. The best 
tribute I can pay Jt is to say, "For road¬ 
side plantings, streets, avenues, boule¬ 
vards and home; and for shade, nothing 
compares with the wide branched, spread¬ 
ing American Elm." Outside of Chinese 
Elm this is probably our most rapidly 
growing tree. It gives you lots of shade 
in just a few years after planting.
