FINE AVENUE SHADE TREES

— Is known also as the Oriental Plane tree, is a na- 
Sycamore, tliropean tive of Europe and Asia, and is regarded as one of 
(Platanus Orientalis) the best varieties for street, avenue and yard plant¬ 
ing. It is of spreading habit with a -well rounded head having plenty of foliage 
to protect the bark from sunburn. Leaves are very large and dark green 
in color. 
The tree can easily be recognized on account of its bark, which is very thin 
and peels off in irregular flakes, leaving the trunk patched with light and 
dark spots. 
We highly recommend planting it in all sections of California and particu¬ 
larly in the San Joaquin Valley.

. Is of rapid growth and is usually found growing as a tree but it 
I amarix can also be planted and grown as a shrub. 
The foliage is very fine and quite similar to that of the Cypress. In its 
blooming season it is laden with fragrant flowers of a delicate pink color. 
The Tamarix is found to be very valuable for wind break purposes and can 
be grown in most any section of California; in fact bears the reputation of 
growing where many other varieties are a total failure.

The Texas Umbrella was discovered in Texas, near San 
Texas Umbrella Jacinto, and was found to be so much superior to other 
varieties of umbrella trees that it has been more largely planted than any other. 
The branches are erect, the foliage of drooping habit, which gives the tree 
the appearance of a large umbrella. It enjoys the distinction of giving the 
best dense shade possible to obtain. The foliage is of a bright dark green and 
produces flowers of a lilac color which are very fragrant. It also produces 
berries or seeds which resemble very much that of a bead. 
This variety is particularly adapted to the warmer climates in California and 
while it is not as highly recommended for street planting as some other shade 
trees we certainly do not hesitate to recommend it for all home yards, avenues 
and any place where dense shade is desired.
