CHINESE ELMS The Wonder Tree of the West 
After ten years experience, we can truthfully say we think this is the best tree ever offered for any dry 
place. Give them a little help the first year or two and they will carry on even if their watering is utterly neg- 
lected. But they are at their best with a little watering thru the hot part of the Summer, and thinning or 
trimming every two or three years. Special care should be taken to keep the tree to a single leader, remov- 
ing one side of each fork as soon as possible. 
Excessive watering is to be avoided if good trees are 
desired. They respond quickly to such treatment by 
putting on a big growth, so large that any heavy snow 
or high wind may break limbs. 
This valuable tree may be used for hedging, setting 
the seedling plants two feet apart. Or single trees, by 
starting early, can be trimmed to columns or even 
globes. Very good windbreaks can be made by plant- 
ing seedlings or small trees three feet apart and doing 
no trimming. 
“es, At planting time all trees should be thinned se- 
verely. Avoid trimming too high until a good head 
has been developed.

CHINESE ELM 
Ornamental and Shade (rees 
Good trees, and lots of them, is one of the greatest of Colorado’s needs. 
Home grown trees are by far 
the best and we have them in quantity. By all means visit our nursery and inspect the thousands of fine 
specimens of hardy trees that we have. 
This list includes everything that is reliable in our climate. 
Before planting, remove about one-third of the top from average heavy tops, by clipping branch ends and 
removing small branches and interfering limbs. Cut off frayed or bruised roots just above the point affected. 
Leave one branch or stem to develop into a leader. Set trees one or two inches deeper than they stood in the 
nursery and plant the same as Shrubs. In case of large trees, leave a saucer-like depression around the tree 
to hold a generous measure of water.
