ELM. Medium—Pen and Ink. No tree varies more in general aspect than the elm. A semblance to the vase is the form most often assumed, when, standing in open ground, it is left free to follow its inclinations. The main trunk is frequently reinforced in old trees by huge buttresses, and often rises entire from ten to twenty feet, separating at length into several nearly equal branches. These rise, diverging but slightly, in straight lines or in broad curves, for thirty or forty feet farther, eventually sweeping outward in wide and lofty arches, with a pendant border of terminal twigs.

The greatest width, as a rule, is near the top. In some elms the branches are quite sinuous, crossing and intertwining.
