CHINESE ELM 
America’s Most Popular Shade Tree 
Because of its beauty and extremely rapid growth, the 
Chinese Elm has become the most popular shade tree. 
Under ordinary conditions it makes excellent shade in 
S years. Our trees are grown in wide rows. They are 
nicely branched, extra heavily rooted, the finest Chi- 
nese Elm we ever grew. They will please you and, 
what is more important, will make you fine shade in 
such a short time. There are hundreds of thousands of 
homes which would be so much more attractive and so 
-much more comfortable if some of Inter-State’s fine, 
fast-growing Chinese Elm were planted in their yards.

A windbreak around your home and farm buildings makes living 
more comfortable both summer and winter. It breaks up the 
dust storms and blistering hot winds and the biting cold winds 
of winter and drifting snows. 
It will take less fuel to heat your home. Your live stock and 
poultry will show greater production and profit. There is no 
better protection for an orchard, large or small, than to surround 
it with a windbreak. 
Chinese Elm is the hardiest, fastest growing, drought resistant, 
economical tree you can plant for a windbreak. In three years 
you will see a big growth, in 5 years you would not sell it back 
for hundreds of dollars. 
These are young Chinese Elm Seedlings, especially fine for 
windbreak planting. They are grown in wide-nursery rows— 
better rooted, better branched, stockier, superior in every way 
to those grown thickly in beds. Plant them 6 to 8 feet apart, 
in 1, 2, 3, or 4 rows.

FOR QUICKER EFFECT—Plant These Root-Pruned, 2-Year Chinese Elm Seedlings 
We have a fine block of 2-year Chinese Elm Seedlings. These 
have been grown in wide rows and root-pruned which means a 
better root system. If you want a windbreak in a hurry, plant 
these. Also if you want to plant quite a lot of Chinese Elm Trees 
and hesitate about paying the higher price for the transplanted 
trees above, then these will do very well for you. The price is 
so low you can afford to make liberal plantings around your home 
and buildings, giving shade in the summer and protection from 
the hot winds of summer and cold blasts of winter.

We bought 24 Chinese Elm, 4 years ago from Inter-State and 
was well pleased with them. Most of them are much taller than 
our house.— EUGENE SHONKS, 423 West 3rd St., South Sioux City, 
Nebr. 
The Chinese Elm I got from your firm last spring have made a 
wonderful growth. They are worth, after one season’s growth, 
many times the price I paid for them. I am sure they will grow 
into a fine windbreak for the young orchard.— DANIEL CLAPP 
Jr., Toronto, Iowa.
