SHADE 
TREES 
Evergreen and Deciduous Trees 
In California, where there is such a scarcity of native trees, especially in the 
middle and southern parts, it is necessary to plant shade trees. The first cost of 
these is not great, and the after attention, until they are old enough to care for 
themselves, should be a pleasure to those who have planted them. For roadside 
planting we particularly recommend the following: Black Walnut, Catalpa, Elm, 
Maple, Poplar and Sycamore. 
Teas' Weeping Mulberry. 
DECIDUOUS SHADE TREES. 
Albizzia Julibrissin. Feathery foliage; pink 
feathery flowers. 
Ash, American White. Broad, round head 
and dense foliage. 
Bald Cypress. A deciduous coniferous tree 
of slender habit. 
Catalpa. Highly ornamental trees with large, 
bright green foliage and beautiful white 
flowers in showy panicles. 
Catalpa speclosa. Bean Tree. 40 to 60 ft. 
Bears the most showy flowers, probably, of 
all our native ornamental trees. 
Elm, Cork Bark. Very desirable for streets 
and avenues; young branches; very corky. 
Elm, English, or French. An erect tree of 
rapid compact growth, with dark green 
foliage. 
Elm, Huntingdon. Very erect habit; bark 
smooth; one of the finest. 
Honey Locust, Common. Striking ornamen¬ 
tal tree, with finely pinnate, glossy green 
foliage; greenish flowers and bean-like 
pods. As an avenue tree it is very pic¬ 
turesque. 
Judas Tree. (Cercis.) Striking ornamental 
trees loaded with a mass of pea-shaped 
pink blossoms in early spring. 
Linden, American. Shapely trees, with large, 
handsome foliage. 
Maple, Ash-Leaved. Large, fine-spreading 
tree of rapid growth; foliage ash-like; a 
fine avenue tree.
