WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE ELMS IN ILLINOIS?
BY STEPHEN A. FORBES
STATE ENTOMOLOGIST
URBANA, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY, 1912
The American white elm is doubtless the favorite shade tree thruout Illinois. It is especially valued for its broad and ample shade, its fairly rapid growth, its usual freedom from offensive in-sects, and its stout resistance to injury by wind storms and sleet; and it is universally admired, also, for its majestic yet graceful form, its picturesque profile, and the irregular, cloudlike masses of its foliage. It is particularly well adapted to streets, boule-vards, and park drives; and an avenue of giant elms whose lateral branches arch broadly upwards to meet and mingle overhead is one of the noblest products of the landscape gardener's art.
