NEW FAST-GROWING 
HAMBURG HYBRID ELM 
T3 This is an entirely new tree, a Hybrid Elm, the fastest growing tree we 
have. In just ordinary soil and under normal conditions, it grows 6 to 10 feet 
a year. It grows so rapidly that in just five years after planting, you will 
have a handsome shade tree. Neither winter’s cold nor summer’s heat bother 
it the slightest. And most important of all, it has proven to be absolutely 
immune to the phloem necrosis virus, the dreaded disease which is killing 
American Elm trees. 
Makes a shapely tree with large, dark green leaves. Withstands very well 
wind and sleet storms. Perfectly hardy here. An amazingly rapid grower, 
there are countless thousands of homes where it will quickly bring shade and 
beauty, planted in the lawn or parking. This is a lasting investment, yet 
it brings quick returns. Plant this spring. They are entirely too large to 
go by parcel post. So we ship them, trimmed ready for planting, by express 
collect. We send along some extra stock to help pay the express cost.

A 5 to 6 ft. Chinese Elm Tree, 7 Years after Planting 
CHINESE ELM 
T 20 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, Locust, and Elm are grown, we advise plant- 
ing the Chinese Elm only for quick shade. There are hundreds of thousands 
of such homes, which would be more attractive and more comfortable if 
some of these quick-growing Chinese Elms were planted.
