BEFORE PLANTING 
This is the home of our President, Mr. Richard Burn, 
before any trees were planted around it. 
FOUR YEARS AFTER PLANTING 
Same home four years later. Showing what a difference 
Chinese Elms can make when planted around the home. 
Beautiful Chinese Elms 
Compare these two photos on this page 
and see what difference in appearance a 
few trees can make around your home. 
Trees which do well in almost any kind 
of soil. 
Trees which give an abundance of shade. 
Trees which grow fast. 
Trees which need practically no atten¬ 
tion. 
Trees which stand extreme heat. 
Trees which stand extreme cold. 
Trees which grow with very little mois¬ 
ture. 
Trees which bugs and other insects do 
not attack. 
Be on your guard against buying Chin¬ 
ese Elm trees which have been dug in the 
fall, kept in storage all winter and shipped 
in the spring. Only a small percentage 
of these trees will live and grow. Insist 
on getting trees which have been freshly 
dug in the spring. 
We grow our own trees, dig them in the 
spring (as soon as the frost is out of the 
ground), then ship them when weather 
conditions are right, thus insuring you of 
getting trees which will start off right 
and keep growing. Customers have told 
us many times they have saved as high as 
95 per cent of their Chinese Elm seedlings 
purchased from us.
