; LOMBARDY POPLAR 
Henry Field’s NEW, HARDY 
on The Beautiful Pillar Tree 
A4255—This is the beautiful, 
popular pillar tree that grows so 
Fastest Growing Tree in 
the Temperate Zone 
fast. Used for backgrounds, accent 
plantings, driveway borders, and 
sentinel trees by 
the gate. Plant 6 
to 8 feet apart. 
This amazing new tree combines the permanence 
and beauty of the American Elm with the rapid 
growth of the Chinese Elm. Apparently immune 
to Dutch Elm disease. Grows 8 to 14 feet per year 
—gives you shade in a hurry. 
Many people 
keep them cut off 
at the top’ when 
they have reached 
a height of 8, 12, 
14 feet—any 
height desired — 
which keeps them 
shorter, encour- 
ages more dense 
growth and makes 
them better 
screens, 
And it is extra hardy. Keeps right on growing 
in weather hot and cold, wet or dry. Its leaves are 
large and dark green; the bark is smooth and a medium 
grey color. The branches are straight and strong ; won’t 
break in a high wind.

NOTICE: Hybrid Elms sometimes start slowly in the spring— 
maybe sulk for as long as two months, then start growing like 
mad. It’s the nature of the beast, so be patient with it. It soon 
will more than make it up. The best time to plant Hybrid 
Elms, or any other tree, is in the fall when the trees be- 
come dormant enough to move (usually late October, 
when we ship), up until the ground is frozen so solid you 
can’t crack it. Mound a pile of dirt around the base of the 
tree for the first winter to prevent frost heaving. Rabbits 
like young Hybrid Elms, so tie fine-mesh wire or heavy pa-
