A good shade tree not only furnishes shade, but often affords 
bloom, fruit, Autumn coloring, and serves as a screen or background 
for other plantings. The following selection of varieties has been

separately under “Flowering Trees’’ a group of trees planted espe- 
cially for ornamental effect. Both groups are planted for shade.

CHINESE ELM (Aeccs Presmila) 
A comparatively new type of Elm in this country. However, it has been 
used for ornamental purposes for hundreds of years in China, having been | 
imported from Siberia. It resembles the American Elm, but is more compact, 
has finer branches, less spread, and does not grow to be as large a tree. Suit- 
able for streets, on home grounds, and other places where a fast growing, me- 
dium size tree is desired. Sends its roots deep into the soil, interfering very 
little with the grass. One of the fastest growers of all shade trees; also one of the 
first to come out in leaf in the Spring and the last to lose its foliage in the Fall
