CHINE SEGELM 
America’s Most Popular Shade Tree 
















720 Because of its extremely rapid growth, 
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 temporary tree 
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.

A WINDBREAK _ 
A windbreak around your home and farm buildings makes living 
more comfortable both summer and winter. It breaks up the dust 
storms and blistering hot winds and the biting cold winds and 
drifting snows. It will take less fuel to heat your home. Your 
livestock and poultry will show greater production and profit. 
Chinese Elm is the fastest growing, drought resistant, economical 
tree you can plant for a windbreak. In three years you will see a 
big growth, in 5 years you would not sell it back for hundreds of 
dollars. These young Chinese Elm Seedlings, are especially fine 
for windbreak planting. Plant them 5 to 6 feet apart. Two rows 
in zig-zag fashion help a lot, but three or four rows are better.
