CHINESE ELM. Most beautiful and 
widely planted shade tree in 
America today. A very rapid 
grower with slender branches 
heavily covered with dark green 
leaves. One of the first trees to 
leaf out in the spring and one of 
the last to shed its foliage in the 
fall. A tree that is exceptionally 
free from insect pests. No other tree approaches the Chinese 
Elm for usefulness and beauty, a perfect tree for lawn planting 
and ideal for windbreaks and screens. Of thick, compact na¬ 
ture and when untrimmed will branch to the ground and break 
the force of the cold winds. If planted close to your farm 
buildings, will keep them from 3 to 6 degrees warmer in the 
winter time. Our Chinese Elms are the north China strain, 
hardy and drought resistant. Will grow from 4 to 6 feet in a 
single season. We have an exceptionally fine stock of Chinese 
Elms this year and you will note they are priced at very at¬ 
tractive prices. 5 to G ft., 40c each; G to 8 ft., G5c each; 4 for 
$2.25.

BIRCH, CUT-LEAVED WEEPING. Not only the most popu¬ 
lar of the weeping trees, but is indeed a picture of deli¬ 
cacy and grace. Its tall slender yet vigorous growth, 
graceful branches, silvery white bark and delicately cut 
foliage present a combination of attractive characteristics 
rarely met within a single tree. Excellent for lawn and 
cemetery planting. 5 to G ft., $1.50 each.
