Chinese Elm 
+ A tree without faults that is rapidly 
replacing other quick growing trees. The 
picture shown on this page is from a 
photograph taken 6 years after planting, 
the trunk of the tree measuring 34 inches 
in circumference 18 inches from the 
ground. You need not wait 15 to 20 
years for shade, as the Chinese Elm 
~ grows 40 feet in height and 20 feet in 
spread in five years. It has none of the 
undesirable root characteristics of the 
Poplars. It is strictly an Elm, nearly as 
graceful as a Cut Leaf Birch, and faster 
growing than the Poplar. With no other 
desirable tree can new homes enjoy the 
luxury of cool shade in such a short time.

been developed by planting several trees together, but should one die, the re- 
sult is out of balance. We are now able to offer a clump of three separate 
trunks, growing from a single root. 4 to 5 feet trees at $1.75 each; 3 for
