Because of its extremely rapid growth, the Chinese Elm has 
become popular. Under ordinary conditions, it grows 5 feet a year. In 
just a few years, it makes excellent shade. It is very valuable for those 
sections of America where most other trees will not live or thrive, 
where it is hot and dry, even in alkali. It seems to thrive even in the 
poorest soil. But in those sections where Maples, Oaks and American 
Elm are grown, we advise planting the Chinese Elm only for quick

T 40 Christine Buisman is a new Elm developed by the U.S. D. A. 
Tested for many years, it has proven to be entirely resistant to the 
deadly Phloem Necrosis Virus and Dutch Elm diseases. It does not 
grow as rapidly as the American Elm but makes a more compact, 
well-branched, shapely tree. Will prove extremely valuable because 
it will live and grow where the American Elm dies. We judge the 
mature tree will never be as large as the American Elm but much more
