C. atlantica glauca. (Blue Mt. Atlas 
Cedar) The tree pictured on page 72 is 
a 30-year-old specimen of this beautiful 
variety. The long, drooping branches are 
heavily clothed with blue-grey needles 
arranged in rosettes. The branches grow 
directly into the wind resulting in a tree 
that is evenly developed on all sides. 
The rather open, stiff growth of very 
young trees soon changes to the full, 
graceful beauty of the more mature 
specimens. Boxed specimens, 12 to 15 
ft., $50.00; 10 to 12 ft., $40.00; 5 to 6 
ft., $6.00; 4 to 5 ft., $4.50; 3 to 4 ft., 
$3.50. 
C. deodara. (Indian Cedar) Tree of the 
Gods. The most popular trees in Cali¬ 
fornia and widely planted both as speci¬ 
mens and as avenue trees. Branches are 
carried horizontal to the trunk clear to 
the ground. Foliage is greyish-green on 
young trees but becomes dark green as 
the trees grow older. More generally 
used than any other trees in California 
as a Living Christmas Tree. Boxed, 12 
to 15 ft., $45.00; 10 to 12 ft., $35.00; 
balled, 5 to 6 ft., $5.50; 4 to 5 ft., $4.00; 
3 to 4 ft., $3.00; 2 to 3 ft., $2.50. 
C. deodara aurea. (Golden Indian 
Cedar) Habit of growth same as Ced- 
rus deodara but foliage at tops and 
ends of branches is deep golden yellow, 
contrasting with darker foliage nearer 
center of the tree. This variety is very 
rare and stock is limited. Balled, 4 to 5 
ft., $6.00; 3 to 4 ft, $5.00. 
C. deodara prostrata. (Creeping Indian 
Cedar) This slow-growing type sprawls 
over the ground like a juniper. Excel¬ 
lent for a large rock garden. 5-gal. cans, 
2 to 3 ft, $6.00. 
C. deodara verticillata glauca. A very 
beautiful type with striking blue foli¬ 
age. Branches droop gracefully; slower 
growing than the ordinary deodara. 
Boxed, 12 to 15 ft, $45.00; 10 to 12 ft, 
$35.00; balled, 5 to 6 ft, $5.50. 
C. libani. (Cedar of Lebanon) A 
native of Palestine which thrives in 
California. We have the true type with 
dark green foliage and picturesquely 
massive branches. Differs distinctly 
from C. atlantica and C. deodara. 
Balled, 5 to 6 ft, $5.50; 4 to 5 ft, $4.00; 
3 to 4 ft, $3.00; 2 to 3 ft, $2.50. 
CEPHALOTAXUS 
Cephalotaxus fortunei. (Fortune’s 
Yew) Dense shrub valuable for plant¬ 
ing in damp, shaded locations. Foliage 
dark green, two to three inches long. 
Balled, 3 to 4 ft, $3.00; 2 to 3 ft, $2.25. 
C. pendunculata fastigiata. (Korean 
Yew) An interesting tree with yew-like 
foliage, sometimes known as “False 
Yew.” Foliage is dark green; habit of 
growth compact, upright and columnar 
like an Irish Yew. Very useful in small 
places and rock gardens. Balled, or in 
tubs, 2 to 3 ft, $2.50.

LAWSON CYPRESS 
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana. 
(White Cedar) A handsome py¬ 
ramidal tree with branchlets, 
fern-like and feathery; growing 
more beautiful with age. We con¬ 
sider this the most beautiful of 
the large conifers. It appears to 
best advantage when allowed 
ample space but does not become 
so wide a tree as the Cedrus deo¬ 
dara. Boxed, 12 to 15 ft, $45.00; 
10 to 12 ft, $35.00; balled, 6 to 7 
ft, $7.50; 5 to 6 ft, $5.50; 4 to 5 
ft, $4.00.
