The trees you get from Gurney’s are Hardy, Northern-Grown stock 
that will do well for you, whether you live in the cold and drought 
country, or in milder climates. The important thing is being hardy. 
Gurney’s trees have to be. 
HOW TO DO WELL WITH TREES 
Anybody can grow trees almost anywhere, if he will just 
take reasonable care in planting them, and plant only 
hardy, northern-grown stock. More trees are lost from 
carelessness than any other reason. Follow these simple 
suggestions, and you can’t go wrong. 
1. Plant trees the day they arrive. Don’t let them sit around even 
one day. Don’t even heel them in unless absolutely necessary. 
2. Trim off 4% of every branch, except the leader, 
with a sharp knife or shears. Trim all broken or 
- extra long roots. 
3. Plant the same depth as it was growing in the 
nursery. You can easily see the dirt line. 
4. Tamp dirt well around the roots while 
planting and after. 
5. Leave trench around tree and soak 
well after planting. Soak twice a week 
for first two months unless weather is 
very rainy. 
6. Guy all trees over 6 feet in height 
with wire or rope for the first year. 

Prune branches 
and roots wisely 
— about one- 
third.

Gurney’s Hardy Siberian Type of 
CHINESE ELM 
The Most Useful Tree for the North 
For Real Shade—If you are like most of us and don’t want to wait 
forever for shade, the Chinese Elm is hard to beat. Every State 
throughout the Plains Area needs more of these wonder trees. 
They’re heavy rooted, heavy calipered, and well branched. Plant a 
6 to 8 foot tree on your lawn this spring and in five years, under 
ordinary conditions you can have a shade tree you will really be 
proud of—can even reach a height of 20 feet. They give the kind 
of shade you want IN LESS TIME. Don’t fail to plant a few this- 
year if you want the finest. 
For Windbreaks—This Siberian Type Chinese Elm is hardy and 
tough. We gather hundreds of pounds of this seed in the Dakotas. 
. . . The Mother Trees came through years of drouth and the 
coldest winters on record. They thrive and grow FASTER THAN 
ANY OTHER TREE. 
For Grove—Plant a thousand Siberian Elm seedlings this spring 
and in three years you can have a grove fifteen feet high. In five 
years you can cut fence posts or fire-wood. The wood, when dry, 
is so hard it will dull your knife.
