*  Note: Elms once lined the streets of America, forming a dense canopy.  Many towns today still have an "Elm Street."  However, elm trees are now rare due to Dutch Elm disease, which killed nearly all American elms in the 1960s.  New disease resistant varieties need to be planted so future generations may also enjoy their beauty.
