EVERGREEN TREES 
The Useful Eucalyptus 
The Eucalyptus, although a native of Australia, seems almost as 
much at home in California as do our own native trees. The Blue 
Gum, the Manna Gum, the Desert Gum and Red Gum are all excel¬ 
lent for windbreaks, shade or wood, and the flowering varieties are 
amazingly beautiful.
