Henry Field’s NEW, HARDY 
HYBRID ELM 
Fastest Growing Tree in 
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 
_ the Temperate Zone 
—gives you shade in a hurry. 
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 
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 
mad.
