Select Broad-Leaved 
EVERGREEN TREES 
The Handsome Harpullia 
Harpullia arborea. 22°. 50 ft. If you want 
a tree that is just about as handsome the year 
around as any tree that we can possibly grow 
in California and which has the added advan¬ 
tage of being quite rare and unusual, we 
heartily recommend this beautiful tree from the 
South Sea Islands. The foliage is large, luxu¬ 
riant, and a bright glossy green in color, and 
it grows into a dense round-topped tree of the 
most magnificent proportions. The flowers are 
inconspicuous, but in the late fall, just in time 
for Christmas, the great brilliant red seedpods 
cover the tree, making it look like the most 
beautiful Christmas Tree that you ever saw, 
and they hang on most of the winter. Hardy 
any place in the coastal or milder foothill sec¬ 
tions. See colored illustration inside back 
cover. 5-gal. containers, 2-3 ft., $2.00; gal. 
containers, 1-2 ft., $1.00. 
Lagunaria 
Lagunaria pattersoni. (Australia.) 20°. 15 
ft. An exceptionally fine, tall, slender, small 
tree, just suited to locations where a large 
tree is not desired. The foliage is grey-green 
and in the early summer, over a period oi 
several weeks, are produced a profusion oj 
waxy, 21 / 2 -inch, rose-pink flowers with a tex¬ 
ture like the pink sugar frosting on a cake. 
Exquisitely beautiful when in bloom and hand¬ 
some at all times. Exceptionally fine near the 
coast. 5-gal. containers, 3-4 ft., $1.75; gal 
containers, 1-2 ft., 50c. 
Southern Magnolia 
Magnolia grandiilora. "Southern Magnolia.' 
60 ft. 5°. The well-known Magnolia of the 
South. Has beautiful dark green, heavy, shin¬ 
ing foliage and in the summer and fall pro¬ 
duces its magnificent large pearly-white flow¬ 
ers 6 to 8 inches across, intensely fragrant. 
Although a tree of comparatively slow growth, 
eventually it makes one of the largest and 
noblest specimens. Should have a consider¬ 
able amount of water when young. Balled, 5-6 
ft., $2.50; 5-gal. containers, 3-5 ft., $1.75; gal. 
containers, 2-3 ft., 50c. 
Exmouth Magnolia 
Dwarf Magnolia 
Magnolia exoniensis. 
"Dwarf Magnolia.” 15 ft. 
5°. To those who want a 
Magnolia for a small yard 
we highly recommend 
this variety. Much the 
same as the Exmouth list¬ 
ed above, but slower 
growing and blooms 
when very young. Balled, 
branched, 5-6 ft., $4.00 
4-5 ft., $3.00; 3-4 ft., $2.50 
gal. containers, 1-2 ft. 
$ 1 . 00 . 
Athel Tree 
Tamarix articulata. 
"Athel Tree.” 30 ft. 18°. 
A fast growing, bushy 
tree much used as a wind 
break in desert sections. 
Slender branches and 
grey-green foliage. Must 
be grown from cuttings 
planted where trees are 
to remain. Leave only two 
inches of cutting above 
ground. Cuttings, 12 ins. 
long, $2.50 per 100. 
The Snowy Fruit-Scented Bloom of Magnolia. 
Live Oaks 
Quercus agriiolia. "California Live Oak.” 
10°. 50 ft. The most picturesque native trees 
that grace the landscape of California are 
the evergreen oaks. This variety is the best 
native species, with medium sized, toothed 
leaves, making a large, dense, handsome, fast 
growing tree. We can enthusiastically recom¬ 
mend it for planting on home grounds, for 
parkways and street planting, and for any 
other location where a good sized, fast grow¬ 
ing evergreen shade tree is wanted. 5-gal. 
containers, 5-7 ft., $1.75; gal. containers, 3-4 
ft., 60c. 
Quercus virginiana. "Southern Live Oak.” 
10°. 40 ft. A beautiful evergreen Oak which 
g rows much more rapidly than our California 
ive Oak and has bigger foliage. Although 
not very well known in California, it makes a 
magnificent tree here, thriving everywhere ex¬ 
cept in the desert regions. 5-gal. containers, 
5-6 ft., $1.75; gal. containrs, 4-5 ft., 60c. 
Parkinsonia 
Pepper Tree 
Schinus molle. "California Pepper.” 18°. 50 
ft. This unique and beautiful tree has become 
so identified with California that it stands as a 
symbol of the Golden State. Grows anywhere 
with little care. Its handsome foliage and red 
berries, which stay on through the winter, and 
the gnarled, rugged trunk, make it a pictur¬ 
esque tree, and because of the fact that it 
thrives so easily and shades a great space of 
ground under conditions unsuited to many 
more pampered trees, it will always be a 
valuable tree for California. 5-gal. containers, 
5-6 ft., $1.50; gal. containers, 3-4 ft., 50c. 
S. terebinthifoUus. "Brazilian Pepper." 22°. 
50 ft. Not so well known as the above but 
just as valuable a tree, having larger, longer 
leaves and greater quantities of brilliant scar¬ 
let berries. Does remarkably well under the 
hottest desert conditions, and also a splendid 
tree on the seacoast. 5-gal. containers, 5-6 
ft., $1.75; gal. containers, 3-4 ft., 50c. 
Flame Tree 
Magnolia grandiflora lanceolata. "Exmouth 
Magnolia." 5°. This is a handsome form of 
the Southern Magnolia with leaves slightly 
narrower than usual and growing slightly more 
erect. These are grafted and every tree will 
be exactly the same in growth and habit. The 
great cupped snowy blooms possess a most 
delicious fragrance which combines the fresh 
fruity scents of lemons and pineapple with the 
richest spices. Balled, 6-8 ft., heavily branched, 
$4.50; 5-6 ft., $3.50; 4-5 ft., $2.50; gal. contain¬ 
ers, 3-4 ft., $1.00. 
Parkinsonia aculeata. 15°. 15 ft. This beau¬ 
tiful native of the Colorado Desert thrives in 
dry soils almost anywhere in the Southwest. 
During the early summer it is a great mass of 
small bright yellow flowers, a striking con¬ 
trast to the smooth bright green bark of the 
trunk and leaflets. 5-gal. containers, 5-6 ft., 
$1.50; gal. containers, 3-4 ft., 50c. 
Tipu Tree 
Tipuana tipu. 30 ft. 22°. A beautiful tree 
from the South American Tropics, with big bold 
pinnate leaves and brilliant yellow flowers in 
spring, borne in great profusion. This tree is 
one of the commercial sources of rosewood. 
For mild situations only. Gal. containers, 4-5 
ft., $1.00. 
CALIFORNIA LIVE OAK 
One of the Finest Trees for Street Plant¬ 
ing and Home Grounds Throughout 
Most of California. 
Sterculia acerifolia. "Flame Tree.” 50 ft. 22°. 
A wonderful tree, with large, shining, maple¬ 
like leaves, producing in the early summer 
great quantities of small cup-shaped blooms of 
rich red on scarlet stems. In the southern 
coastal counties it is one of the showiest flow¬ 
ering trees that can be planted. 5-gal. con¬ 
tainers, 3-4 ft., $1.75; gal. containers, 2-3 ft., 60c. 
Sterculia diversifolia. "Bottle Tree.” 25 ft. 
15°. Excellent for narrow parkways and dry 
soils, because of its small narrow shape and 
deep rooted habit. A good desert tree. 5-gal. 
containers, 5-6 ft., $1.75; gal. containers, 4-5 
ft., 50c. 
California Laurel 
Umbellularia califomica. "California Laurel.” 
25 ft. Zero. A native of the California moun¬ 
tains, with long, narrow, dark green leaves, 
pungent when crushed. A beautiful small, 
round-headed tree of fairly slow growth, thriv¬ 
ing anywhere except on the desert. Gal. con¬ 
tainers, 1-2 ft., 75c. 
A Flowering Oak 
Tricuspidaria dependens. 15°. 25 ft. A small flower¬ 
ing tree from the canyons of the Andes in Chile which 
at first glance looks like one of our California Live 
Oaks, but no Oak ever produced the quantities of little, 
white, bell-shaped flowers which this tree displays in 
great drooping clusters throughout the spring and early 
summer. Easily grown but likes plenty of water. A 
good tree for planting in the lawn—a location which 
many trees dislike. 5-gal. containers, 3-4 ft., $1.75; gal. 
containers, 2-3 ft., 75c. 
The Evergreen Elm 
Ulmus sempervirens "Energreen Elm.” 25 ft. Zero. 
A small tree with a spreading crown of slender droop¬ 
ing branches and bright green leaves. For a small 
home shade tree. We highly recommend it. Drops its 
leaves for short time in cold sections. Large specimens, 
8-9 ft. boxed, $10.00.
