This new elm may be the salvation of the 
elm trees in America. In tests it is apparent- 
ly free and immune to the dreaded Dutch 
It was introduced and brought personally 
by Carl A. Hansen and Dr. N. E. Hansen 
from the far off rugged mountains near the Manchurian-Siberian border, 
where temperatures get down to 55 and 60 degrees below zero. 
The leat of this new elm is similar to the Chinese Elm, but is a much more 
glossy, rich dark green, and more firm and rugged, and larger. 
The tree itself branches better with good 
strong, sturdy limbs that branch out with firm 
crotches that do not split like the American or 
Chinese Elm. 
Hansen Manchurian Elm grows very fast. In 
tests we have seen it grow 8 to 12 feet in one 
season. The bark is smooth with slight corruga- 
tions. This tree has an exceptionally strong root 
system with lots of hair roots to absorb moisture. 
It will grow well in especially tough places, 
where it gets very cold or dry, though it grows 
better in more favorable locations. 
This is the first time we have offered this 
amazing new elm for general distribution and 
because it is new our supply is short and we 
have only a very limited number to offer this 
year. If you wish some, send in your order right 
away while our supply lasts. We may not be 
able to offer it again soon.
