leaves, and true willowy-drooping 
branches. Super hardy. Fine for pool 
background or lawn specimen. Contrary 
to popular opinion, while it does well in 
a wet spot, it will do just as well on soil 
with good drainage.

NEW HARDY 
HYBRID ELM 
Fastest Growing Tree in the Temperate Zone 
A4234—This amazing new tree is 
a cross of the American Elm and 
the Chinese Elm. It combines the 
permanence and beauty of the 
American Elm with the rapid 
growth of the Chinese Elm. And 
what is most amazing of all, it ap- 
parently is immune to Dutch Elm 
disease. And even though it is hard- 
wooded, it grows 8 to 14 feet per 
year—gives you shade in a hurry. 
It is extra hardy. Keeps right on 
growing in weather hot and cold, 
wet or dry. Its leaves are large and 
dark green, much like the foliage 
of the American Elm. The bark is 
smooth and medium grey oolor. 
The branches are straight and 
strong; won’t break in a high 
wind. 
NOTICE: Hybrid Elms sometimes 
start slowly in the spring—maybe 
sulk for as long as two months, 
then start growing like mad. It’s 
the nature of the beast, so be pa- 
tient with it. It soon will more 
than make it up. The best time to 
plant Hybrid Elms, or any other 
tree, is in the fall when the trees 
become dormant enough to move 
(usually late October, when we 
ship), up until the ground is frozen 
so solid you can’t crack it. Mound 
a pile of dirt around the base of 
the tree for first winter to prevent 
frost heaving. Rabbits like young 
Hybrid Elms, so tie fine-mesh wire 
or heavy paper around the trunk 
for the first couple of winters. It 
helps also to stake any newly- 
planted tall tree 
so the wind won’t 
rock it and loosen 
the roots.

At Planting 
Susan was 3 when the Hybrid Elm was planted in her back yard. By 
the time she was 5, the Spirea hedge in the background was hiding 
the picket fence, and the Elm was over 25 feet tall! 
1 Year Later 2 Years Later 
Our seed originally came from Siberia where 
only the hardiest trees survive. Stand extreme 
cold or heat, or drouth, and do well in poor 
soil. Thrive anywhere. 
They are fast growing—8 to 10 feet per year. 
Give shade or hedge or windbreak quickly, but 
live a long time. Many trees now are 200 
years old.
