Henry Field’s Hybrid Elm is a hardy, 
disease-resistant tree well worthy of 
planting on any lot, but it is the per- 
fect answer if you have a new house 
on a treeless lot and want shade in a 
hurry.

Fastest Growing Tree in the 
Temperate Zone 
_A cross of the American Elm and the 
Chinese Elm, with all the good points 
of both and none of the bad. Combines 
the permanence and beauty of the 
American Elm with the rapid growth 
of the Chinese Elm. If you want shade 
in a hurry, you'll get it with this Hy- 
brid Elm because it often grows 8 to 
14 feet per year. Yet it is long-lived, 
hard-wooded, and apparently immune 
to Dutch Elm disease. 
It is 190% hardy—hot weather, cold 
weather—it’s all the same to this new 
eerie: And hot or dry, growth doesn’t 
stop. 
Trimmed for Planting 
Your Hybrid Elm will come to you 
trimmed even more heavily than the 
rest of our trees because, in a fast 
growing tree such as this, the top must 
be brought into balance with the roots 
that were pruned by digging. When 
severely trimmed, there is hardly a 
chance of losing it. We find many of 
our customers do not prune their nur- 
sery stock when they receive it, so we 
are taking no chances with this tree. 
Supply Limited 
Our supply is very limited, and when 
ours are exhausted there are no other 
ones available in the U. S. So order 
early. If we run out of the size you 
want, we'll try to send you another 
size, or book your order for fall. 
NOTE: Hybrid Elms sometimes won't 
put out a leaf for a couple of months 
after planting. Treat them just like 
you would sulky children—take good 
care of them and be patient. All of a 
sudden they'll start growing like mad.

larger leaf, plus faster growth, gives 
you shade sooner.
