LAKE CITY ELM 
The original specimen of this variety was 
found growing in Lake City, Minnesota. 
It is a type of American Elm of unusual 
merit. Close, upright growth, insuring it 
against breaking down from sleet and 
storm and makes trimming unnecessary. 
Trees are all symmetrical and uniform 
in shape, yet with sufficient spread to 
make it a valuable shade tree. It is 
especially adapted for boulevard planting 
as it does not have low spreading branches 
to interfere with travel on the sidewalk 
and pavement. 8-10 ft. trees, $1.50; 1^-2 
inch, $2.00; 2-2*4 inch, $2.50; 24-24 inch, 
$3.00. 
AMERICAN ELM 
A native tree of unusual vigor and hardi¬ 
ness. Contrary to belief, it is the most

able long-lived trees. The arching branches

drives; on the lawn its abundant shade 
and dark green leaves make it most de¬ 
sirable. 6-8 ft., 75c each; 8-10 ft., $1.00; 
14 to 2 inch, $2.00; 2-24 inch, $2.50;
