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. P 
NOTICE: Hybrid Elms sometimes start slowly in the spring— 
maybe sulk for as long as two months, then start growing like
