CEDRUS—Cedars 
The Cedars are the most popular conifers grown in 
California. They are hardy under a wide range of climatic 
conditions, grow rapidly and apparently have no insect 
enemies. In recent years they have acquired great popu¬ 
larity as Outdoor Christmas Trees. 
All of the true Cedars are natives of the Old World and 
should not be confused with the American trees of various 
species known as Cedars. American Cedars will be found 
in this catalog under Chamaecyparis, Libocedrus, Juniper 
and Thuya. • 
Cedrus atlantica. (Mt. Atlas Cedar.) Large trees of open 
growth and pyramidal form. Will grow in windy situations 
without becoming one-sided. When young, branches are 
somewhat stiff hut with age they become beautifully grace¬ 
ful with drooping branches closely covered with dark green 
foliage arranged in rosette form. Boxed 20 to 25 ft., $50.00; 
18 to 20 ft., $40.00; 16 to 18 ft., $30.00; 12 to 15 ft., $25.00; 
10 to 12 ft., $18.00; balled, 4 to 5 ft., $3.25; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50; 
2 to 3 ft., $2.25. 
C. deodara. (Indian Cedar) Tree of the Gods. The most 
popular trees in California and widely planted both as speci¬ 
mens and as avenue trees. Branches are carried horizontal 
to the trunk clear to the ground. Foliage is greyish-green 
on young trees but becomes dark green as the trees grow 
older. More generally used than any other trees in California 
as a Living Christmas Tree. Boxed, 20 to 25 ft., $50.00; 18 
to 20 ft., $40.00; 16 to 18 ft., $30.00; 12 to 15 ft., $25.00; 10 to 
12 ft., $18.00; hailed, 8 to 10 ft., $8.00; 7 to 8 ft., $6.00; 6 to 
7 ft., $5.00; 5 to 6 ft., $4.00; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50; 
2 to 3 ft., $2.25. 
C. deodara aurea. (Golden Indian Cedar) Habit of growth 
same as Cedrus deodara but foliage at tops and ends of 
branches is deep golden yellow, contrasting with darker 
foliage nearer center of the tree. This variety is very rare 
and stock is limited. Balled, 3 to 4 ft., $3.50; 2 to 3 ft., $3.00. 
C. deodara prostrata. (Creeping Indian Cedar) This slow- 
growing type sprawls over the ground like a juniper. Excel¬ 
lent for a large rock garden. 5-gal. cans, 1% to 2 ft., $3.00. 
C. deodara verticillata glauca. A very beautiful type with 
striking blue foliage. Branches droop gracefully; slower 
growing than the ordinary deodara. Boxed, 12 to 15 ft., 
$25.00; 10 to 12 ft., $18.00; balled, 8 to 10 ft., $9.00; 7 to 8 ft., 
$7.00; 6 to 7 ft., $6.00; 3 to 4 ft., $2.50; 2 to 3 ft., $2.25. 
C. Xiitaani. (Cedar of Lebanon) A native of Palestine which 
thrives in California. We have the true type with dark green 
foliage and picturesquely massive branches. Differs dis¬ 
tinctly from C. atlantica and C. deodara. Balled, 5 to 6 ft., 
$4.50; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 ft., $2.75; 2 to 3 ft., $2.50. 
GOLDEN HINOKI CYPRESS 
CEPHALOTAXUS 
Cephalotaxus fortunei. (Fortune’s Yew) 
Dense shrub valuable for planting in 
damp, shaded locations. Foliage dark 
green, two to three inches long. Balled, 
3 to 4 ft., $2.00; 2 to 3 ft., $1.00. 
C. pendunculata fastigiata. (Korean 
Yew) An interesting tree with yew-like 
foliage, sometimes known as “False 
Yew.” Foliage is dark green; habit of 
growth compact, upright and columnar 
like an Irish Yew. Very useful in small 
places and rock gardens. Balled, or in 
tubs, 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 1 V 2 to 2 ft., $1.00. 
LAWSON CYPRESS 
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana. (White 
Cedar) A handsome pyramidal 
tree with branchlets, fern-like and 
feathery; growing more beautiful 
with age. We consider this the most 
beautiful of the large conifers. It 
appears to best advantage when 
allowed ample space but does not 
become so wide a tree as the Cedrus 
deodara. Boxed, 16 to 18 ft., $30.00; 
12 to 15 ft., $25.00; 10 to 12 ft., 
$18.00; balled, 8 to 10 ft., $8.00; 7 
to 8 ft., $6.00; 6 to 7 ft., $5.00; 5 to 
6 ft., $4.00; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50; 3 to 4 
ft., $2.50; 2 to 3 ft., $2.00.
