TREES FOR PLANTING 



ACACIA BLACK-WOOD An evergreen of value in semi-arid regions; 

 produces symmetrical crown and shapely trunk. 



CATALPA HARDY Grows rapidly, pretty foliage and bloom, durable 



wood. Must be protected from high winds and stock, branches brittle. 



ELM, SCOTCH Splendid tree for street use; foliage luxuriant and comes 



early; trunk round and stout; trees symmetrical. Probably best of elm 



varieties. 



ELM, CORK A hardy and vigorous tree of great value for roadside or 



sidewalk planting. Shapely and easily grown in Northern California. 



GREVILLEA A well balanced tree of divided leaves and sprays of 



brilliant blossoms; used with much success in Southern California. 



Somewhat unsightly as it grows old. 



GUM, BLUE Commonest of the many varieties of Eucalyptus; tall, 

 noted for curative properties and value of wood; not good for school 

 yards except as wind break, on account of spreading roots. 

 HAWTHORN, ENGLISH An attractive small tree. 



LOCUST Wood is hard, close-grained and strong; makes splendid shade 

 tree, and is suitable for large playgrounds; bears a profusion of fragrant 

 flowers. 



LINDEN An excellent tree for the coast section. 



MAPLE, CALIFORNIA A native tree, broad leaved, clean in growth, of 

 quick growth, adapted to all soils, though doing best in loam. 



MAGNOLIA A thrifty tree with remarkably fine leaves and waxy blos- 

 soms. A decorative tree. 



POPLAR, CAROLINA Grows well, is fine appearing and very shapely. 

 POPLAR, SILVER So called from silvered leaves which flash with every 

 breeze. Ornamental, hardy and of striking appearance. 



PECAN Adapted to the interior valleys where it acquires great size. 

 PALMS A great variety of palms; of great decorative value, of rather 

 slow growth, require much room. Suitable for lawns, wide avenues or 

 parked spaces, giving a tropic air to the landscape. 



PEPPER Especially adapted to Southern California; delicate Nile 

 green foliage, clusters of brilliant red berries, and graceful, drooping 

 foliage make it an excellent tree for planting. Stands drouth well, 

 does best in hot climate, and is perhaps the best of all shade trees 

 south of Sacramento. 



UMBRELLA Affords good summer shade, has crown of dense foliage, 

 which in autumn takes on beautiful hues. Especially adapted to San 

 Joaquin Valley and the south. 



WALNUT, CALIFORNIA Another tree native to the soil; a thriving, pro- 

 ductive and easily propagated tree. The English Walnut is also a good 

 type of tree.
