2 THE SARCOXIE NURSERIES PEONY FIELDS 

sew Eden “Coclshade”... 
» Undoubtedly the most beautiful Elm we have ever seen. It is 
a most practical all-purpose shade tree. Unlike the American 
lm, it does not have large lateral limbs that are dangerous 
when overhanging the residence. It may be planted close to 
the house withcut worry. 
« 
IT’S TOUGH—does not break in the wind and under the 
burden of ice and snow like the ordinary Chinese Elm. 
IT’S BEAUTIFUL—forms a compact tree, somewhat resem- 
bling the Hard Maple in form. (See illustration.) 
IT’S HARDY—like all Chinese Elm, it is hardy and drought 
resistant. Apparently it is not subject to the Dutch Elm dis- 
ease or Phloem neucrosis, which affects the American Elm. 
IT’S CLEAN—does not shed leaves early and cause an un- 
sightly lawn—holds its leaves late into the fall. 
IT’S RAPID IN GROWTH—not quite so rapid as ordinary 
Chinese Elm, however produces an abundance of deep green 
foliage affording a complete shade—a ‘‘COOLSHADE”’—and a 
truly beautiful shade tree.
