CAMELLIAS. These showy Japanese shrubs are familiar to nearly 
every one. They bloom early in springtime, and are a great 
acquisition to the garden. The waxy odorless flowers are pro- 
duced very freely. We offer the Double White, 80c to $1.00 
each; Double Pink, 80c to $1.00 each; Double Red, 80c to

symmetrical, ornamental tree, thriving in the very poorest soil. 
A native of Japan. Bright green foliage ; well adapted for lawn 
purposes. 5-inch pots, 2 feet, 40c each; 5-inch pots, 3 feet, 
60c each. 
Cedrus Deodora. The Queen of Evergreens 
CASUARINA 
(Beef Wood, She Oak) 
The picture of the Casuarina gives us a good idea of the 
habit of this beautiful tree. The Casuarina is supposed to 
be named after the Cassowary, a native bird of Australia 
(akin to the ostrich and emu) on account of its long 
plume-like foliage, which somewhat resembles the plumage 
of that bird. The leafless branches are long and pendulous 
and dark green in color. They are eminently adapted for 
forest planting in California. The Casuarinas are of very 
rapid growth and suit themselves alike to the cold bleak 
winds of the ocean or the hot interior valleys. The wood 
is very hard and can be advantageously used for many 
mechanical purposes. As an ornamental tree, we con- 
sider the Casuarina one of our best evergreen trees and 
as a tree for making windbreaks or hedges we consider 
it has no equal, being of such rapid growth and standing 
pruning so well. The more it is pruned_ the denser it 
becomes. They are indigenous to tropical Australia, 
and some are found in New Caledonia and India. We 
offer the following varieties: 
EQUISETIFOLIA. S-inch pots, iy 2 to 3 feet, 35c each; $3.00 
per 10.

CEDAR OF LEBANON 
This grand old historic tree, old as it is, has always retained a warm 
spot in the hearts of tree lovers. It is possessed of much 
grandeur and for lawn or park adornment it , is peculiarly 
adapted. Balled, 2Y Z feeo, §1.00 each; 3% feet, $1.50 
each. 
CEDRUS DEODORA (Indian or Himalayan Cedar.) If we were 
asked to name the handsomest coniferous tree, we would, we 
think, be compelled to say that the Indian Cedar came as near 
being perfect as it were possible. The majesty and grandeur of 
this native of the Himalayan mountains is soul inspiring. To 
view its graceful proportions, its lovely sea-green drooping 
branches, is certainly a treat that all must appreciate. It is 
perfectly at home in this State, growing rapidly; it grows in the 
hot valleys to perfection, in fact that is where one sees the 
.finest specimens. As an avenue tree (where it can have 
plenty of space), it is unsurpassed and alternating it with a 
Phoenix Canadensis the two make a grand combination. 
We have a fine stock of these to offer. The plants are finely 
shaped and beautifully colored. 5-inch, pots, 75c each; $6.00 
per 10; 3 feet, $1.50 each, $12.50 per 10; 4 feet, $2.00

CRYPTOMERIA JAPONICA 
The following extract taken from the "Florists' Ex- 
change" issue of July 15, 1905, and to which we are 
indebted for the accompanying photograph, may be of 
interest to our readers: 
"Here in Japan the timber of 'sugi' (Cryptomeria 
Japonica) is the most highly valued of all for general 
building purposes. Trees of 20 feet circumference are 
not rare in the temple groves around Nikko, and single 
specimens of larger proportions have been found. The
