CHINESE ELMS The Wonder Tree of the West 
After ten years experience, we think this is a first class tree 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 neglected. 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, removing one side of each 
fork as soon as possible. 

CHINESE ELM 
Unless grown as a dry land tree, troubles of many 
kinds are apt to develop and the species becomes as 
troublesome as a poplar. 
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. 
At planting time all trees should be thinned se- 
verely. Avoid trimming too high until a good head 
has been developed.

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. 
ASH, GREEN. An easy tree to grow and one that makes a 
well-shaped crown. Hardy and drought resistant. 
BIRCH, CUT LEAF. This is the white-barked variety with 
finely cut leaves. The very finest of all lawn trees. Fast 
growing and entirely hardy if given reasonable watering. 
The beautiful weeping characteristic develops as the trees 
grow larger and is very little in evidence in the small trees. 
CATALPA. 
Bungei. This is the ornamental round headed type. 
Specimens priced from $5.00 up. Not reliably hardy. 
CRABS. Valued for their fine flowers, these dwarf trees fit 
into most landscape schemes. 
Bechtels. Best known. Bears a cloud of double large 
apple blossoms but no fruit. 
Well branched, 18-24 in. trees, 69c 
Dolga, white, and Hopa, red, are larger growing types 
than Bechtels and usually bear small crab apples as 
well. They are very effective in larger plantings. The 
Dolga trees bear beautiful small red apples. 
2-3 ft. trees 79c¢ 
ELMS, AMERICAN. Considered by us to be the finest 
parking tree, especially where ample water is used. Rather 
slow growing but comparatively free from snow and ice 
breakage. Our stock has been selected with care and the 
trees are outstandingly fine. We have trees of all sizes, 
and invite inspection. 
LOCUST, THORNLESS. One of the best of the hardwood park- 
ing trees. It will make a good head without trimming and 
will thrive with very little water. Resistant to disease and 
insects. It never suckers and the roots grow deep and do 
not disturb nearby sidewalks. 
MAPLE, SOFT OR SILVER. A large, rapid growing shade tree. 
Good for parking or for large areas. Protect the trunk 
shen DSi: The only entirely satisfactory Maple for 
olorado. 
Schwedler. Best of the red 
hard to grow. 
leaved maples. Rather 
OAK, BURR. The hardiest oak for our western country and 
one that grows rather fast. It makes a slender, shapely, 
long lived tree. Fall coloration is very brilliant.
