THE DOUBLE ROOT SYSTEM 
The Double Root System of the Siberian Type of Chinese Elm ex¬ 
plains WHY it is so drouth resistant. THIS DRAWING is taken from 
one made by the U. S. Forest Service. Their Study Showed a tree growing 
under worse than average Great Plains Conditions. 
GURNEY’S SIBERIAN ELM TREES are grown from seed borne 
by Trees that have Proved their EXTREME HARDINESS. THEY 
HAVE SURVIVED heat, drouth, and 40° below zero. 
PLANT GURNEY’S SIBERIAN ELM- 
ALL TREES GROWN FROM SEED 
GATHERED IN THE DAKOTAS 
We have found that trees grown from seeds gathered in the Dakotas 
are ALWAYS BEST. THE PARENT TREES have adapted themselves 
to our conditions. They have survived hot winds, Drouth and the coldest 
winters in the records of the Weather Bureau.

CHINESE ELM ROOT SYSTEM BY U. S. FOREST SERVICE HARDY, FAST GROWING SIBERIAN ELM. 
CHINESE ELM FOR SHADE 
THE CHINESE ELM HAS BECOME THE LEAD¬ 
ING SHADE TREE OF AMERICA. It is the FAST- ■ 
EST GROWING, MOST SATISFACTORY SHADE, OR¬ 
NAMENTAL OR WINDBREAK TREE. It is very resistant 
to extremes in temperature. It may grow as much as 15 feet 
in two years, thus, in just two years’ time you may have a 
beautiful SHADE TREE or a GOOD WINDBREAK. Very 
free of all disease. Thousands are used as street trees in 
the Middle Northwest, not a bad one in a thousand. 
American Fork, Utah, Feb. 26, 1938 
The hundred Chinese Elms purchased from 
you a few years ago are, today, responsible for 
making our home a beauty spot in the community. 
Every tree grew at a miraculous rate and they have 
now reached a size where they lend real beauty 
to the grounds. Grace G. Clark. R. 1, Box 26 
HIGHLY RESISTANT TO 
DROUTH AND PESTS 
“The Chinese Elm has proved itself the great¬ 
est of all shade, parking, and roadside trees. It 
will grow in any soil. Nothing like it in drouth and 
insect resistance. **** It is green ahead of all 
other Elms in the spring, and holds its foliage 
later in the fall. Sheds no leaves of consequence 
during the summer. Makes fairly dense shade and 
has wide spread of limbs. No semblance of disease 
has thus far attacked it. **** In its rapidity of 
growth the Cottonwood is a piker. **** **** No 
more beautiful tree of any age could very well be 
found anywhere of any variety. **** As to lon¬ 
gevity, these trees are said to live for centuries by 
those who have seen them growing in their native 
land.
