HARDY NORTHERN 
CHINESE ELM 
The fastest-growing hardy tree 
in existence 
You need not wait 15 to 20 years 
for shade, as the Chinese Elm grows 
40 feet in height and 20 feet in 
spread in five years. Grows faster 
and has none of the undesirable 
root characteristics of the Poplars. 
It has dense, dark green foliage; the 
first shade tree to put out leaves in 
the spring and the last to shed them 
in the fall. Thrives on either rich 
or poor soil, resists drought, and 
makes a fine showing even if neg- 
lected. It succeeds in all parts of 
the United States, including both 
the cold and semi-arid regions, and 
thrives everywhere except on low, 
wet ground. Introduced in the United 
States by the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture from that cold, 
bleak country of Siberia. Hardy 
in Zone 8. Size 3 to 4 feet, $1.00 
each; 3 for $2.50; 6 for $4.50; 12 for 
$8.00, postpaid.

European 
CLUMP BIRCH 
In recent years there has been 
much demand in landscape planting 
for the white barked Birch in clumps 
of three or more separate trunks. 
Grown in this manner, they develop 
into most attractive specimens for 
lawn and must be seen to be really 
appreciated. In former years, clumps 
have been developed by planting sev- 
eral trees together, but should one 
die, the result is out of balance. We 
offer a clump of three separate 
trunks, growing from a single root. 
Grows to a height of 50 or 60 feet. 
Hardy in Zone 2. Size 3 to 4 feet, 
$3.00 each; 3 for $7.50, postpaid. 

American 
WHITE BIRCH 
The American White Birch is 
the native Birch of the north 
woods growing to 40 ft. high. 
The white bark referred to 
throughout our Native Indian 
Lore had many uses. Thrives 
on most any soil, both wet and 
dry. Hardy in Zone 2. Trees 
3 to 4 ft. high, $1.50 each; 3 for 
$3.75, postpaid. 

Cut Leaved 
WEEPING BIRCH 
A tall, slender tree to 30 feet 
in height. The branches are of 
drooping habit with deep green 
finely cut foliage. One of the 
most desirable lawn trees with 
its silvery white bark contrast- 
ing with green foliage. Hardy 
in Zone 2. Trees 3 to 4 ft. 
high, $2.75 each; 3 for $6.85, 
postpaid.

rapidly and increase in value every year. ;
