CALODENDRON Capensis. (Cape Chest¬

green pinnate foliage, yellow flowers in good- 
sized racemes, the seed pods following turn a 
reddish color and are quite handsome. Gallon

minal heads. Makes a dense top. An excellent 
shade tree. Gallon containers, $.50; large spe¬ 
cimens, $1.50. 
ERYTHRINAS or CORAL TREES 
The Erythrinas or Coral Trees are among the 
most beautiful and striking trees in our gar¬ 
dens. They are all of them extremely flori- 
ferous and when in flower light up the whole 
garden with vivid masses of color. They should 
be extensively planted in localities not subject 
to heavy frosts. By planting three or four var¬ 
ieties, some will be in bloom every day in the 
year. 
ERYTH RINA Caffra 
(South Africa). Makes in time a large tree. In 
winter and early spring is literally a sheet of 
scarlet bloom. One of the showiest trees in ex¬ 
istence and a beautiful picture. Gallon contain¬ 
ers, $1.00; large specimens, $3.50 up. 
ERYTH RINA Coralladendron (See Flow¬ 
ering Shrubs) 
ERYTHRINA Crista-Galli (See Flowering 
Shrubs) 
ERYTHRINA Herbacea (See Herbaceous 
Plants) 
ERYTHRINA Indica 
(India). Good-sized tree, dark green foliage, 
spikes of vivid wine colored flowers in the early 
spring. One of the handsomest of all the Coral 
Trees and scarce. Gallon containers, $2.00; 
large specimens, $5.00. 
ERYTHRINA Poeppigiana 
(American Tropics). A good-sized tree, hand¬ 
some foliage, covered in the summer with erect 
spikes of scarlet flowers like candelabra. A very 
beautiful tree. Rare. Gallon containers, $1.50; 
large specimens, $3.50 up. 
ERYTHRINA Poinoides 
(American Tropics). A large spreading shrub or 
small tree, blooms after the old leaves fall off 
in early spring, when it is literally a sheet of 
vivid scarlet spikes. One of the most striking 
objects which can be imagined. In our opinion 
one of the most showy and desirable of all the 
Corals. Gallon containers, $1.50; large speci¬ 
mens, $3.50 up. 
ERYTHRINA Speciosa. (See Flowering 
Shrubs) 
EUCALYPTI 
All of the Eucalypti listed below are from West¬ 
ern Australia, some of them having actually only 
been discovered in the last few years. They are 
all dwarf trees or shrubs of graceful habit with 
slender trunks and restrained root growth. They 
should not be confused in any way with the large 
trees of this family, whose roots prove such a prob¬ 
lem in the average grounds and garden. 
We have been the means of introducing a num¬ 
ber of these species into California and we are 
especially impressed with their great merits, their 
desirability and their beauty. They are very flori- 
ferous, blooming with us over most of the year. 
Some of them have actually come into bloom at a 
little over one year old from seed. The flowers 
range from white to yellow, and various shades of 
pink and red, singly or in large clusters and droop¬ 
ing racemes. They constitute an interesting and 
invaluable addition to California gardens, thriving 
in almost any kind of soil and standing a good 
deal of abuse. The only thing they are likely to 
resent is constant soaking with water. Prices are 
for gallon containers. Large specimens from $1.50 
and up. 
EUCALYPTUS Angulosa 
(Western Australia). Free flowering, pale sal¬ 
mon flowers, grows to 8 feet. New, $1.00. 
EUCALYPTUS Caesia 
(Western Australia). Slender weeping tree to 
about 20 feet, attractive russet-brown trunk, 
white branches and silvery-gray foliage. The 
tree blooms almost continuously, having rose- 
pink flowers with golden stamens in long droop-
