 good shape. 



Quercus California,, often called "Kellogg's Oak" is another native species 

 which is commonly found through certain parts of the northwest. It is a 

 deciduous species of marked beauty. At present the nursary supply of this 

 species would be very limited in most regions. Now that native species are 

 receiving the attention which they deserve this matter will have to be remedied. 



The Valley Oak (Quercus lobata) is another native species worthy of a 

 place. In many places it is badly infested by certain gall -producing insects, 

 and by growths of various mosses, which render toe tree unsightly. In those 

 parts of the state where it is one of the dominant features of the landscape its 

 use is to be recommended. 



The Tanbark Oak (Pasania dansifolia) which is not a true oak though closely 

 related, is a tree which is a dominating species in certain regions. As it is 

 of considerable beauty it too might find a welcome place in certain parts of 

 tlie state. 



A few young specimens of the Pin Oak, common in the eastern states, were 

 noted in Los Angeles. 'Aiis species is Quercus paljjs/brij?. They were vary 



young trees but ware in very good form except that the leaders needed straightening 

 Perhaps this is a tree which would warrant further experimentation and, if 

 satisfactory, would lead to the trial of other deciduous oaks from the Eastern 

 States. 



A very good specimen of the English Oak (Quercus p^eduncula-ta) was noted in 

 Santa Barbara. Perhaps there are others of this species through -toe south. 

 Investigation of its occurrence might lead to its use. 



The Cork OaU (Quercus .eubejr) is a fine tree resembling from a popular 

 view point the Live Oak as to foliage, except that the foliage is more contracted 

 giving a convex shape to the leaf. The most curious point, however, is the 

 growth of cork in the bark so that the trunk is covered with large fold-like 

 excresences.
