Chinese Elm—A fast growing tree, widely used for shade, wind- 
break and hedge. If desired for shade, branches must be kept 
pruned from the time they are small. They withstand drought 
well, and do not want to be watered late in fall. These trees grow 
so fast, we have found it the most economical to plant good seed- 
lings and keep them pruned. You will get a shade tree practi- 
cally as soon as if you plant a larger tree, and at much less ex- 
pense. Selected 3-4 ft. seedlings, each 20c; 10 for $1.50. Selected 
5-6 ft. seedlings, each 35c; 10 for $3.00. (Also see “hedging’’.)

white bark, graceful drooping branches with deeply cut foliage.

ance. 5-6 ft. size, each $1.75.
