SHADE TREES SHIPPED EXPRESS OR TRUCK FREIGHT, TRANSPORTATION COLLECT, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. 
A broad open space of well kept lawn is the first essential 
of good landscape design, the base against which all else 
is viewed. Yet it is incomplete without trees to shield the 
house from the direct heat of the sun, and for ornament. 
Without trees as a background so the tonmmost branches ex- 
tend above and break the roof lines, and a few toward the 
ends to frame the view, the house appears lost in space. 
Once established, nothing will increase in value and give 
such good results with so little attention as shade trees. 
ASH, MOUNTAIN 
A fine ornamental tree of pyramidal growth, with graceful 
feathery foliage. Showy clusters of white flowers in spring 
followed by dazzling scarlet berries in fall. A wonderful 
autumn tree.

THE SENSATIONAL NEW 
Elm Caclshade 
Low 
Bee 
Undoubtedly the most beautiful Elm we have ever seen. 
{t is a most practical all-purpose shade tree. Unlike the 
American Elm, it does not have large lateral limbs that are 
dangerous when overhanging the residence. It may be 
planted close to the house without worry. 
IT’S TOUGH—does not break in the wind and under the 
burden of ice and snow like the ordinary Elm. 
IT’S BEAUTIFUL—forms a compact tree, somewhat resem- 
bling the Hard Maple in form. (Insert is Chinese Elm.) 
IT'S HARDY—like all Chinese Elm, it is hardy and drought 
resistant. Apparently it is not subject to the Dutch Elm dis- 
ease or Phloem neucrosis, which affects the American Elm. 
IT'S CLEAN—does not shed leaves early and cause an un- 
sightly lawn—holds its leaves late into the fall. 
IT’S RAPID IN GROWTH—not quite so rapid as ordinary 
Chinese Elm, however produces an abundance of deep green 
foliage affording a complete shade—a “COOLSHADE’’—and 
a truly beautiful shade tree. 
WE SINCERELY RECOMMEND THIS AS THE BEST ELM 
WE HAVE EVER KNOWN. Grows 35 to 50 feet high.

attract attention as far as it can be seen. Not hardy north 
of central Iowa.
