CHINESE ELM—Makes windbreak, shade or hedge. (Courtesy of Capper 
Publications) 
Fast growing and hardy, 
it has become extremely 
popular all over the 
country. It grows with remarkable success in every section. 
Very thick and compact, branching from the ground, it fur- 
nishes protection against winter storms and snows as well as 
dust storms. Beautiful and graceful in habit, the Chinese Elm 
thakes the whole landscape more sightly. 
Plant in double or triple rows 10 to 12 feet apart, and 3 or 4 
feet apart in the row. Ferris’ Chinese Elms are grown in the 
North and from northern seed. Plant your windbreak or screert 
this spring—take advantage of these fine values. (Special 
Shade Tree Sizes are offered on page 24.)
