THESE ADVANTAGES MAKE THE 
AUGUSTINE ASCENDING ELM 
AMERICA’S MOST VALUED TREE 
Beautiful appearance. Not only does this elm's narrow, upright stat- 
ure give an impression of strength, stability, and aspiration, but its 
neat and regular outlines streamline the whole and give it a graceful, 
modern look. 
Perfect repetition of shape and habit. Each tree is produced by graft- 
ing with carefully-controlled Augustine Ascending Elm wood. Thus, 
each scion is potentially identical to every other. Although some varia- 
tion is produced by environment, trees planted in the same location 
will be identical in shape and habit. This perfect reproduction assures 
uniform rows and impressive repeated effects. 
Unusually rapid growth gives to the owner not only the benefit of 
soon possessing a mature and useful tree but also the advantage of 
soon profiting from his money investment. 
No storm damage. Because of the strong anchorage, the rising struc- 
ture with little overhang, and the extremely sturdy crotches, this tree 
will not be damaged by the most severe storms. 
Negligible loss through tree plagues. Both field experience and 
scientific inoculation tests have shown this healthy tree to have a 
marked resistance to the attacks of insects, fungi and viruses. 
Grass grows right up to base of trunk. Because of the narrow col- 
umnar structure, the sun can get to the grass at the base of the tree for 
a good portion of every day. 
Grass or pavement not raised by roots. The compact root system of 
this elm does not raise the ground near its base nor raise and crack 
adjacent curbs, sidewalks or streets. 
No traffic obstruction. This is the ideal city and high- 
way tree. Its narrow form and lack of overhang allow it 
to be planted on the parkways of city streets and along 
highways without in time obstructing traffic and obscur- 
ing vision by straggling branches. 
Other advantages. This elm bears no seed to create lit- 
ter in the spring. It is one of the few trees which has a 
guarantee.
