SPECIMEN TREES 
for Immediate Matured Effects 
• It is entirely possible to produce the effect of a completely 
matured garden in a few weeks' time by the use of large, 
nursery-grown trees and shrubs. While it may not always 
be desirable to use all matured plants, a new garden may 
be given character and beauty by the judicious use of a few 
large trees. 
These larger trees and shrubs will produce the desired ap¬ 
pearance of permanence and strength in the landscape and 
unite the house with its surroundings. When the large trees

are carefully chosen and well placed it is not necessary to 
use many of them. The remainder of the planting may be 
made up of smaller trees of real worth. 
The production of large specimen trees in a variety of types 
is an important part of our nursery operations. The trees 
vary in age from 5 to 40 years. With our careful and experi¬ 
enced handling during digging and boxing, they are trans¬ 
planted with great success and take hold readily in their 
new locations. 
Specimen trees from our nursery have been used in most of 
the large planting projects in the San Francisco Bay area, 
including Sunnyvale Air Base, the approaches to the San 
Francisco Bay Bridge and in several landscape develop¬ 
ments on Treasure Island. 
In the large number of specimen trees available in our nurs¬ 
ery, there are sizes and types suitable for every garden 
need. Because of variations in size, shape and symmetry, 
it is impractical to list definite prices on this class of ma¬ 
terial. We invite a personal inspection of the trees wherever 
possible. Description, photographs, and prices of individual 
trees will be mailed promptly to those who cannot conveni¬ 
ently visit our nursery.
