An Old Chinese Elm in the Lama Temple Yard, Pekin. 
The Chinese Elm { Ulmus pivmila) has proven to be per- 
fectly hardy in the North West and is attracting consider- 
able attention because of its rapid growtn and attractive 
appearance. It cannot compare with the American elm as an 
avenue tree but has a pi cturesqueness about it which will 
make it a useful tree for dooryards and parks. Photo No.
