Eucalyptus 
Probably no other group of trees has 
added so much to the character of the 
scenery of California, where the Eucalyptus 
now seems to belong as if it were a native 
tree. It is freely used to complete a land¬ 
scape picture and several species are par¬ 
ticularly valuable as windbreaks and for 
hillside planting, where they thrive with no 
attention after once established. 
EUCALYPTUS CITRIODORA. Lemon Scented 
Gum. A beautiful and graceful tall slender tree, 
with white bark and bright green leaves tufted 
at the ends of branches. Unexcelled for scenic 
effect. The leaves are strongly lemon-scented.

EUCALYPTUS FICIFOLIA. Scarlet flowering 
Eucalyptus. This tree is much admired for its 
masses of brilliant showy blossoms which are

through hues of red, vermilion, deep pink and 
salmon. Splendid for street planting. Our trees 
are grown from selected seed. 1 -gallon contain¬ 
ers, 50e; 5-gallon, $1.75.

lon containers, 2 to 3 ft., 50c; 5-gal., 4 to 5

home decoration the trees are made very 
full and bushy. Plant them singly or in 
groups. 1 gallon container 2 to 3 ft., 75c;
