CHINESE EIR 
America’s Most Popular Shade Tree 

T 20 Because of its extremely rapid growth, the Chinese Elm 
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 soi]. 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 5 to 6 ft. Tree, 7 Years after Planting 

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 
Jivestock 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 5S to 6 feet apart. Two rows 
in zig-zag fashion help a lot, but three or four rows are better.

12 to 18-inch Chinese Elms 5 Years after Planting 

T22 We have a fine field of 2-Year Chinese Elm 
Seedlings. These have been grown in wide rows and 
root-pruned which means a better root system. If 
you want to plant quite a lot of Chinese Elm Trees 
and hesitate about paying the higher price for the 
transplanted shade trees above, then these will do 
very well for you. The price is so low you can 
afford to make liberal plantings around your home 
and buildings, giving shade in summer and protec- 
tion from the hot winds of summer and cold blasts
