_ Shade Trees 
Beautiful, Fast-Growing 
LOMBARDY POPLARS 
These are the well-known pil- 
lar trees so prized because of 
their rapid growth and stately, columnar shape. 
They are very useful for large screen plantings, as 
borders along driveways, and as sentinel trees by 
the entrance or gate. Also useful and decorative 
planted along the property line. They are cheap, 
grow easily, and are very hardy. The clean, dark 
green leaves are always attractive.

WELCH’S AMAZING 
HYBRID ELM. 
OFTEN GROWS 14 FEET IN ONE YEAR 
We believe this is the fastest grow- 
ing of all trees. It often grows to 
a height of 14 feet in one year in 
our nursery rows. 
This is a cross of the American 
Elm and the Chinese Elm, with all 
the good points of both, and none 
of the bad. It is exceedingly hardy 
and fast growing in both hot and 
cold weather, in wet and dry places. 
Its branches do not fork like those 
of American Elm, thus are less apt 
to split. Its leaves are larger and 
thicker. And most important of all, 
it apparently is immune to Dutch 
Elm disease. 
Please note: Sometimes they don’t 
seem to like being transplanted, and 
don’t grow much the first year. If 
samc e ses they do this, treat them just as you 
HYBRID ELMS SHIPPED would sulky children. Take good 
ALREADY PRUNED care of them, and be patient. All of 
? a sudden they will start growing 
Your Hybrid Elms come to like tnad: 
you already trimmed for plant- 
ing. It is very important that 
this tree be properly pruned : 
when transplanted; we are No. A4235—PRICES on Welch’s Hybrid 
afraid you wouldn’t prune it Elm; they grow too tall to send parcel 
as hard as necessary, so we do post, so we ship them express not 
the job ourselves. . prepaid: 4 to 6-foot size, 3.29 each;

Stake first year so wind won't rock 
the tree and loosen the roots. 
CHINESE ELM FOR SHADE 
A4220—TThese are good for lawn or street 
use, and also for planting in small groups 
in the corners of pastures and grasslands to 
provide shade and protection for livestock.

Chinese Elm 
Genuine Siberian Strain 
There are many fine, popular trees, 
but none are planted in so great a 
quantity as the Chinese Elms. They 
are set out by the millions through- 
out the midwestern and western 
United States each year because of 
their rapid growth and beauty, and 
because they will withstand climatic 
and soil conditions few other trees 
will tolerate. They will take extreme 
cold and extreme dryness equally 
well, along with a lot of heat. And 
they will thrive on the poorest of 
soils, even alkali. 
All of Welch’s Chinese Elms are 
grown from seed gathered in South 
Dakota, and are guaranteed to be a 
rugged, hardy strain. There is none 
better.

This is a new tree having much 
the same shape as the American 
Elm, but it is much better in 
many ways. It is a very clean tree, 
having no seed pods, and fine fo- 
liage (the falling leaves practi- 
cally disappear into the lawn) 
which allows enough light 
through the tree and onto the 
lawn for good grass growth. Yet 
it gives enough shade to be cool 
and thus stop crab grass growth. 
This new tree is not susceptible to 
disease, is hard-wooded, and as long- 
lived as the common Honey Locust. 
It is tolerant of smoke and soot. It 
withstands transplanting well, and 
grows well on practically any type of 
soil. 
Moraine Locust is covered by Plant 
Patent No. 836. Being a patented 
tree, the prices are standard through- 
out the U.S. No. A4261—5 to 6-foot 
whips, 5.00 each. 6 to 7-foot branched 
trees, 8.09 each. Shipped express not 
prepaid.

The Perfect Shade Tree 
for Your Lawn 
As it gets older, Moraine Locust 
gtows vase-shaped, like an Ameri- 
can Elm, with wide-spreading 
branches that arch up and out, 
easily reaching over top of two- 
story house without obstructing 
view or ait circulation. All in all, 
it is the perfect shade tree for your 
lawn.
