PI. 277. 
CHINESE DRY-LAND ELMS THRIVING IN THE COACHELLA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA. 
(Ulmus pumila L., S. P. I. No. 22975.) 
Mr. William R. Faries, who owns the trees, writes as follows: "This row of Ulmus pumila, 
one-eighth of a mile long, gets water only when an adjoining field of alfalfa is watered, 
say twice a month, and but one furrow at that. I am glad the trees are nearly leafless 
at this time, as their characteristics show best thus." (Photographed by William R. 
Faries, Coachella Valley, Calif., January 7, 1920.)
