MDE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES — 






CHINESE or SIBERIAN ELM. As a wood lot, shelter belt or 
grove tree and as a formal or natural hedge this tree has a 
very definite place in Northwestern planting. Drought resisi- 
ant and rapid growing beyond almost any other sort. The 
occasional winter damage explains why we have steadily 
refused to recommend this tree as a street or lawn tree. 
In spite of the winter injury, which has occurred only once cg ” _ 
every 15 or 20 years, we still feel that this very fast growing Siberian Elm 
and drouth resisiant tree possesses great value in the Great 
Plains. Even if it has to be cut back to the ground it will 
recover in a year or so and produce more new growth than could be obtained in the same time by re- 
planting with any other tree. Price, 3 to 4 ft., each, 20c¢; 5 for 90c; 4 to 6 ft., each, 60c; 6 to 8 ft., each, 75¢;
