permanent shade and street planting.

Ulmus Parvifolia (Chinese Elm). The 
most rapid growing of the Elms. Re¬ 
sistant to disease and wind. Broad spread¬ 
ing top. Ideal for shade or background 
planting. 
When planting shade trees, bear 
in mind that trees planted now will 
probably stand for decades and pos- 
silby even centuries. The large 
shade trees we so much enjoy now, 
in the hot summer days and whose 
sturdy boughs shield us from the 
onslaught of winter winds and 
storms, were probably planted by 
the hands of people who long ago 
were thoughtful of our comforts. 
Plant trees now, and care for them 
properly, to enjoy them in the lat¬ 
ter restful years.
