ARAUCARIA, A genus of magnificent, tall- 
growing trees, all natives of the Southern 
Hemisphere. Most of the species have a very 
symmetrical habit; some carry this to a most 
remarkable extent. Cones are very large and 
solid, but are not borne until the trees attain 
considerable age. 
A. bidwilli. (Bunya-Bunya. ) Australia. Grows 
quickly and makes a large tree. Leaves are 
flat, sharp and dark, glossy green. Cones about 
the size and shape of a large pineapple. When 
young the tree is loose and open, but with 
growth becomes compact and extremely sym- 
metrical. Each 
Balled, 3 to 4 ft $5.00 
Balled, 2 to 3 ft 3.50 
A. imbricata. (Monkey Puzzle.) Well-known 
tree of very unusual appearance. Trunk 
straight; coarse, blunt branches in regular 
whorls. Leaves short, broad, triangular; very 
sharp, overlapping like shingles, closely sur- 
rounding trunk and branches. Entirely unlike 
any other tree. 
Araucaria. (Monkey Puzzle.) Each 
Balled, 1 to 2 ft $1.50 
CASUARINA. Native of Australia, with ex- 
tremely hard wood equaling in this respect the 
walnut and hickory. Its redness has given it 
the popular name of Beefwood. The branches 
are long and slender, and weeping with jointed 
needle-like leaves. They are odd but beautiful 
ornamental trees, growing well even in alkali 
soils. Of very rapid growth. Stand pruning 
well and as formal street trees and for hedges 
we recommend them highly. Each 
Potted, 4 to 5 ft - $1.50 
Potted, 3 to 4 ft - - 1.25 
Potted, 2 to 3 ft 1.00 
EquisetifoHa (She Oak.) 100 feet. Of very rapid 
growth, with drooping branches and dark green, 
needle-like leaves. 
Stricta (C. quadrivalvis. ) 30 feet. Is of more 
erect habit than the preceding, but does not 
grow so tall. 
CEDRUS (Cedar.) Although many conifers of 
various kinds have the name "Cedar" applied 
to them, the true Cedars are limited to three 
species, all natives of the Old World. There 
are no true Cedars native to North or South 
America. They are all magnificent, long-lived 
trees of noble appearance and readily dis- 
tinguished by their needle-like leaves produced 
in bunches except on the young growing shoots, 
where they are scattered. Cones are borne 
erect and are very beautiful. 
C. atlantica. (Mt. Atlas Cedar.) North Africa. 
Large, pyramidal, open tree. Leaves very 
slightly glaucous. The hardiest species. 
Each 
Balled, 6 to 7 ft $5.00 
Balled, 5 to 6 ft 3.50 
C. atlantica g^Iauca, (Blue Mt. Atlas Cedar.) A 
variety of C. atlantica with intensely glacous 
or silvery leaves. When young, the growth is 
irregular and straggling, but later becomes 
symmetrical and compact. One of the most 
strikingly beautiful specimen trees in our col- 
lection. Each 
Balled, 4 to 5 ft $5.00 
Balled, 3 to 4 ft „ 4.00 
Our Strain of Italian Cypress Is the Best. For 
Formal Planting and for Setting Off a Stately 
Building This Magnificent Conifer Is 
In a Class by Itself
