CHINES Fore 
America’s Most Popular Shade Tree 


T20 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 soi]. But in those 
sections where Maples, Oaks and American Elm are grown, 
we advise planting the Chinese Elm only as a temporary tree 
0 for quick shade. There are hundreds of thousands of such homes, 
which would be more attractive and more comfortable if some of 
these quick-growing Chinese Elms were planted.

AMERICAN ELM

Rockies to the Atlantic. In the country, the villages, the towns, 
the cities, it is equally popular. Without them, America would be 
indeed much less beautiful and comfortable. Plant 35 to 40 feet 
apart. This may seem a long distance apart at first but remember 
that it develops into a large, tall tree with a wide spreading top.
