CHINESE ELM 
T20. Because of its extremely rapid growth, the Chinese Elm has 
become popular. Under ordinary conditions, it grows 5 feet a year. In 
just a few years, it makes excellent shade. It is very valuable for those 
sections of America where most other trees will not live or thrive, 
where it is hot and dry, even in alkali. It seems to thrive even in the 
poorest soil. But in those sections where Maples, Oaks and American 
Elm are grown, we advise planting the Chinese Elm only for quick 
shade. There are hundreds of thousands of such homes, which would 
be more attractive and more corhfortable if some of these quick-grow- 
ing Chinese Elms were planted.
