CHINESE ELM 
SIBERIAN TYPE OF CHINESE ELM 
The Most Useful Tree for the North 
Our Chinese Elm were not damaged by the severe 
freeze of November 11, 1940, as were many other trees 
throughout the Northwest. We still believe the CHI- 
NESE ELM IS ONE OF THE MOST USEFUL trees we are 
offering, due to its ability to give shade in less time than 
other trees, and make a rapid growth under extremely 
dry and adverse conditions. ;

For Windbreaks—This Siberian Type Chinese Elm is hardy 
and tough. We gather hundreds of pounds of this seed in the 
Dakotas. . .. The Mother Trees came through years of drouth and 
the coldest winters on record. They thrive and grow FASTER 
THAN ANY OTHER TREE. 
For Grove—Plant a thousand Siberian Elm seedlings this spring 
and in three years you can have a grove fifteen feet high. In five years 
you can cut fence posts or fire-wood. The wood, when dry, is so 
hard it will dull your knife. 
For Hedge—During the past few years, the Chinese Elm has 
come into use as an ornamental hedge plant. Everywhere you see 
the Siberian type of Chinese Elm hedges, trimmed and neat. Many 
are ready for trimming the first year. If you want a quick hedge with 
heavy foliage clear to the center, plant Chinese Eln—Siberian Type.
