CHINESE ELM 
America’s Most Popular 

Shade Tree 
5120 Because of its extremely rapid growth, the Chinese Elm 
‘has become popular. Under ordinary conditions, it grows 5 
feet a year. In just a few years, it makes excellent shade. It 
is very valuable for those sections of America where most 
other trees will not live or thrive, where it is hot and dry, even 
in alkali. It seems to thrive even in the poorest soil. But in 
those sections where Maples, Oaks and American Elm are 
grown, we advise planting the Chinese Elm only as a tempo- 
rary tree for quick shade. There are hundreds of thousands of 
such homes, which would be more attractive and more com- 
fortable if some of these quick-growing Chinese Elms were 

planted.

Seedlings. These have been grown in wide rows and

Trees and hesitate about paying the higher price 
for the transplanted shade 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 summer and protec-

tion from the hot winds of summer and‘cold blasts i 
of winter. A planting of Chinese Elm is a blessing 
on any farm and especially so in those parts of 
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, 
Wyoming and the Dakotas, where so few other trees 
thrive. These 2-Year Chinese Elm will grow rapidly 
and are a great value at these prices. They will be 
shipped at planting time by express.
