American elm and hickory trees praised for beauty and uses
The article extols the elm as a grand street tree with graceful form and broad, stately presence from Newfoundland to the Rockies. It notes leaf, bark, and fruit traits and warns of threats like the elm leaf beetle and tussock moth, praising elm avenues in New Raven, Cambridge, Oberlin, and Beanstons. It then surveys hickory trees, especially shagbark, bellbark, water hickory, and pignut, detailing range, wood qualities, and uses from handles to vehicle lumber, urging protection.
