CHINESE er SIBERIAN ELM. As a wood iot, shelter 
belt or grove tree and as a formal or natural hedge 
this tree has a very definite place in Northwestern 
planting. Drought re- i 
sistant and rapid es 2 5 aii 
growing beyond al- Siberian Elm 
most any other sort. : 
The occasional winter damage explains why we have steadily refused to 
recommend this tree as a street or lawn tree. In spite of the winter in- 
jury, which has occurred only once every 15 or 20 years, we still feel that 
this very fast growing and drought resistant tree possesses great value 
in the Great Plains. Even if it has to be cut back to the ground it will 
recover in a year or so and produce more new growth than could be ob- 
tained in the same time by replanting with any other tree. Seedlings, 12
