Abstract

A new and distinct variety of elm tree which produces leaves which are somewhat larger than other Chinese Elm cultivars with which it is most closely similar and which further exhibits cold hardiness to Zone 6 under typical environmental conditions.

Having described and illustrated my new variety of elm tree, what is new and desired to be secured by plant letters patent is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Chinese Elm tree, substantially as illustrated and described, and which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Dynasty", "Supervirens", and "Drake" varieties of Chinese Elm tree with which it is remotely related, but which is distinguished therefrom and characterized principally as to novelty by being increasingly cold hardy and growing taller than other Chinese Elm Cultivars. While retaining the urban hardiness characteristics of and by producing larger leaves than that typically displayed by other Chinese Elm trees with which it is most closely similar, the new and novel variety of Chinese Elm having noteworthy height characteristics under typical Zone 6 conditions.
