CHINESE ELM 
T20 Because of its extremely rapid growth, the Chinese 
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 
American 
poorest soil. But in those sections where Maples, Oaks and 
Elm are grown, we advise planting the Chinese Elm only 
shade. There are hundreds of thousands of such homes, which would 
be more attractive and more comfortable if some of these quick-grow- 
ing Chinese Elms were planted.

Seedlings are especially fine for windbreak planting. Plant them 5

four rows are better.

have. In just ordinary soil and under normal conditions, it grows 6 to 10 feét 
a year. It grows so rapidly that in just five years after planting, you will 
have a handsome shade tree. Neither winter’s cold nor summer’s heat bother 
it the slightest. And most important of all, it has proven to be absolutely 
immune to the phloem necrosis virus, the dreaded disease which is killing 
American Elm trees in the central states. 
Makes a shapely tree with large, dark green leaves. Withstands very well 
wind and sleet storms. Perfectly hardy here. An amazingly rapid grower, 
there are countless thousands of homes where it will quickly bring shade and 
beauty, planted in the lawn or parking. This is a lasting investment, yet 
it brings quick returns. Plant this spring. They are entirely too large to 
go by parcel post. So we ship them, trimmed ready for planting, by express 
collect. We send along some extra stock to help pay the express cost.
