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 appar¬ 
ently have no insect enemies. In recent 
years they have acquired great popular¬ 
ity as Outdoor Christmas Trees. 
All of the true Cedars are natives of 
the Old World and should not be con¬ 
fused with the American trees of vari¬ 
ous species known as Cedars. Ameri¬ 
can Cedars will be found in this cata¬ 
log under Chamaecyparis, Libocedrus, 
Juniper and Thuya.

Large trees of open growth and pyra¬

fully graceful with drooping branches 
closely covered with dark green foliage 
arranged in rosette form. Boxed, 12 to
