NECTAR BEARING ELM 
(ulmus parvifolia) 
This Asiatic species may well serve the purpose as - 
an ornamental, small to medium size shade tree and 
provide an additional source of nectar. Our more 
common elms bloom in early spring and are attrac- — 
tive to the bees for pollen. This one blooms in late 
summer, usually September. It is reported as yielding 
nectar freely in central Missouri .and to be swarming 
with bees at a time when there is little honey coming 
to the hive from other sources. It is an attractive, 
nicely shaped tree little known to this country. 
Plant them this fall, anytime before the ground 
freezes up. Leave a mound of dirt around the base 
of the tree until spring to prevent heaving. 
Order now — we will begin shipping after first 
freeze, usually late October. 
Strong, well rooted little trees, one to two foot size 
— Each $1.00, three for $2.50, postpaid. -
