The original specimen of this variety was 
found growing in Lake City, Minnesota. It is 
a type of American Elm of unusual merit. 
Close, upright growth, insuring it against break- ~ 
ing down from sleet and storm and makes 
trimming unnecessary. Trees are all sym- 
metrical and uniform in shape, yet with suf- 
cient spread to make it a valuable shade tree. 
It is especially adapted for boulevard plant- 
ing as it does not have low spreading branches 
to interfere with travel on the sidewalk and 
pavement. 8-10 ft. trees, $2.00; 11/2-2 inch, 
$3.00; 2-214 inch, $4.00.

many clusters of scarlet and carmine berries 
in the late summer and fall. It grows very 
rapidly and attains a height of about 30 to 
40 feet. 5-6 ft., $1.00; 6-8 ft., $2.00; 8-10

of streams. A graceful weeping tree with 
deep rich golden bark on trunk and along 
the long slender weeping branches. Hardiest
