Broad-Leaved Evergreen Trees 
Our stock of evergreen trees is large and varied, 
and the plants are of exceptional quality, having been 
grown for our landscape work. Each plant has had 
keen attention paid to it, having been staked, pruned, 
and fertilized in the best way to produce a well-round¬ 
ed specimen. Owing to the varied sizes of trees in our 
stock, we cannot give a detailed price list and we kind¬ 
ly ask our customers to write us their requirements and 
we will be pleased to quote prices. 
We have many sizes of trees not listed here, par¬ 
ticularly fine boxed specimens of medium-sized and 
large trees for landscape work. Visit Paul J. Howard’s 
“Flowerland” to make your selection of these reason¬ 
ably priced medium and large-sized specimens, which 
are thoroughly established in boxes—a great advantage 
in planting for an immediate effect. We have omitted 
from this list many well known varieties which we 
have in stock at all times.

ering of our hard-wooded plants. Few

water in the summer months, during their 
growing season.

ALECTRYON EXCELSUM. A beautiful tree from 
New Zealand with most attractive, glossy, bright 
green foliage, clean, shapely, and it does not 
grow too large—just right for lawn, garden, 
patio or parkway specimens. These qualities alone 
make it most desirable but in addition it has a 
feature which is unique: in winter it bears clus¬ 
ters of pods which look like velvet, then split 
open and display a shiny jet-black seed set in 
a brilliant scarlet cover, like a jewel in its case. 
Branches of these pods make wonderful decora¬ 
tions, and appropriately are ripe at Christmas.

New Dwarf Flowering Eucalyptus 
The rare new colors, including yellow, 
scarlet and pink, the interesting form of the 
buds and flowers, some with highly colored 
caps, suggest unusual possibilities in ar¬ 
rangement in floral art, employing the 
graceful branches, leaves of fine character 
unopened buds, highly colored flowers and 
seed pods. 
EUCALYPTUS CAESIA. One of the most grace¬ 
ful trees we have ever seen, having white branch¬ 
es, dark brown trunk and narrow drooping leaves, 
this beautiful new Eucalyptus would win a place 
in gardens on its decorative value as a tree alone. 
However, in addition it is one of the loveliest of 
flowering trees. The flowers appear throughout 
the year in long drooping racemes and are a lus¬ 
cious tone of rose-pink, with golden anthers and 
silvery pods. 1-gallon containers, 3 to 4 ft., $1.00. 
5 gallon, 4 to 5 ft., $2.50; 5 to 6 ft., $3.50.

most showy and unique species, never failing to 
attract with its gorgeous flowers which have an 
unbelievable color combination. The immense 
cone shaped buds have brilliant scarlet caps, cur¬ 
iously grooved, and are themselves startlingly 
beautiful. These caps drop off, exposing long 
fluffy stamens of brilliant golden yellow. The 
clusters of bloom and unopened buds give a strik¬ 
ing color effect seldom equalled in all of the floral 
kingdom. These flower clusters have many dec¬ 
orative possibilities, one of which is their use in 
corsage work, delightful and unusual. The trees 
have large rich green leaves and are bushy and 
decorative, about 15 feet in height. 1 gallon 
containers, $1.00; 5 gallon, $2.50. Large speci¬ 
mens, 6 to 8 ft. high, $7.50. 
Recently discovered in Western Aus¬ 
tralia, these dwarf Eucalyptus promise to 
attain great popularity in California gardens 
for their beauty and variety of form, and 
colorful flowers. A group planting of the 
various varieties will give a charming effect. 
Especially valuable for the garden are these 
newly introduced dwarfer species, many of which 
make exceedingly showy flowering trees. Not 
heavy feeders, they will not crowd other plants.

tive tree with red or yellow flowers.
