A CHINESE ELM, CENTURIES OLD. 
(ULMUS TV MIL A L.) 
The unusual adaptation to widely varying conditions of growth 
exhibited by this introduced species, which is now growing in 
hundreds of places in America — from Canada to the Gulf States- 
makes this illustration of a tree, which is said to be 300 years old 
and is still growing in the Central Park in Peking, of unusual inter- 
est to American tree lovers. (Photographed by Frank N. Meyer, 
November 9, 1916, at Peking, China; P12375FS.)
