Prostrate and Spreading Junipers 
Juniperus chinensis pfitzeriana (Spreading Juniper). We believe 
that this is one of the best coniferous shrubs that may be grown 
in the Southwest. Its soft, gray-green foliage blends well with 
other planting and its general habit of solid spreading growth, 
makes it an excellent shrub to use for foundation planting in 
landscape work. The plant is absolutely hardy to any frost or 
heat that we will have here. Gal. containers, 50c; 5-gal. containers, 
$1.80; 15-18 in., $1.50; 21/2-3 ft., $2.50. 
Juniperus chinensis procumbens (Creeping Juniper). This low 
growing, spreading Juniper is a fine plant to use for rockeries or 
low border planting. The shrub rarely attains more than 12 inches 
height, but will frequently spread over an area 4 or 5 feet across. 
The foliage is always a pleasing grayish-green and the shrub will 
thrive on extreme conditions of any kind. Gal. containers, 60c. 
Juniperus communis depressa (Prostrate Juniper). Where one has 
the space for a shrub that will spread over 8 or 10 feet, this is a 
beautiful plant to use. It rarely attains a height of more than 2 
feet and produces a mass of light green foliage of very pleasing 
color. May be used to excellent advantage in large rockeries or 
for low border planting where ground covering ability is wanted. 
Gal. containers, 40c; 5-gal. containers, $1.70. 
Juniperus sabina. The habit of growth of this Juniper is very 
similar to the pfitzeriana, they both growing into a broad, funnel 
shaped shrub. The color of the Sabina is a good dark, rich green 
and therefore a good one to use where the gray-green of the other 
varieties is not wanted. It is equally hardy in all respects. Gal. 
containers, 40c; 2-2 V 2 ft., $1.50. 
Juniperus sabina tamariscifolia. A creeping plant of pleasing ap¬ 
pearance. Branches heavily covered with fine, grayish-green foli¬ 
age and grows so compactly it makes a perfect ground cover. 
Main branches radiate horizontally from center of plant and are 
heavily branched with vertical twigs bearing greater portion of 
foliage. Maximum height about 12 in., spread about 4 ft. Gal. con¬ 
tainers, 60c; 15-18 in., $2.00. 
THUYA AUREA NANA 
Upright Junipers 
Juniperus excelsa stricta (Greek Juniper). This is an erect grow¬ 
ing, extremely compact shrub of rather slow growth, attaining a 
mature height of from 6 to 10 feet. Its general form is conical and 
retains this shape throughout its entire life. Blends well in coni¬ 
ferous group plantings. Gal. containers, 40c; 2-3 ft., $1.50; 2V2-3 ft., 
$1.70. 
Juniperus hibernica fastigiata (Irish Juniper). We feel that this 
slender, compact shrub should be used more in formal or group 
plantings because of its odd coloring and hardy nature. The 
foliage is quite prickly and of sufficient density to present an 
extremely compact effect. Its maximum height is about 18 feet. 
Gal. containers, 40c; 2-2 V 2 ft., $1.50. 
Pine Trees (Pinus ) 
We carry the following varieties of pine trees in stock at all times 
and, in our opinion, they are the best types that can be planted for 
ornamental use in California. A pine tree lends dignity to any 
structure around which it is used, and the sound of the wind 
whispering through the foliage is very soothing. Attractive for 
avenue planting or for large tree groups in landscape work. 
Pinus canariensis (Canary Island Pine). A very fast growing 
pine which develops one central, straight trunk, attaining a height 
of from 50 to 80 feet. The needles are extremely long and grace¬ 
ful, and are borne on branches which appear at regular intervals 
in whorls on the trunk. Gal. containers, 35c; 5-gal. containers, 
$1.50. 
Pinus halepensis (Aleppo Pine). This is a rapid growing pine of a 
liberal spread, and attains a height of about 50 feet. The top of 
this tree is not as dense as the preceding variety, but is always 
considered a very beautiful tree. Gal. containers, 35c; 5-gal. con¬ 
tainers, $1.50. 
Pinus pinea (Italian Stone Pine). This is an excellent variety of 
pine to use where one wishes a high, umbrella-shaped head. 
Approximate height, 60 feet, furnishing a good dense shade, with 
the lower branches gradually eliminating themselves as the tree 
grows older and gains greater height. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Pinus radiata (Monterey Pine). This is a native to our Cali¬ 
fornia coast, and a pine that will be a very fast grower under 
average conditions. The tree will ultimately attain a height of 60 
feet and grows into a generally globe-shaped, fairly heavy head. 
Gal. containers, 35c; 5-gal. containers, $1.50. 
Arborvitaes 
Thuya orientalis aurea nana (Dwarf Golden Arborvitae). One of 
the smallest growing conifer shrubs, but one so brilliant that it will 
always attract attention. The general shape of this little plant is a 
pyramidal globe, rarely over 2 feet. The bright yellowish green 
leaves are borne in flat vertical sections, closely spaced, giving an 
almost solid exterior. This miniature has many uses in formal gar¬ 
dens, low foreground plantings, or any place where a small bril¬ 
liant spot of color is needed. No amount of cold in California will 
affect it and after being established does not require a great deal 
of moisture. Gal. containers, 50c; 12-15 in., $1.50; 15-18 in., $1.70; 
18-24 in., $2.00. 
Thuya orientalis beverleyensis (Tall Golden Arborvitae). One of 
the most highly satisfactory columnar growing conifers developed 
for many years. Maximum height about 15 to 18 feet and when 
fully developed about a 3-foot spread at the base. During the 
summer the golden bronze coloring on the tips of the new growth 
is beautiful and outstanding. Grows from one central main stem, a 
very desirable feature for a tall, slender growing plant. Gal. con¬ 
tainers, 50c; 24-36 in., $2.00; 3-4 ft., $2.50; 4-5 ft., $3.00. 
Thuya orientalis bonita (Green Arborvitae). This has long been 
a popular shrub because of the solid, compact habit of growth, 
with a maximum height of about 6 feet, although it will take 
many years to grow this tall. This plant grows into a good dark 
green, solid globe that is always fine when used as a specimen 
plant or in groups with other conifers. Gal. containers, 40c; 18-24 
in., $1.70. 
Fern Tree 
Podocarpus elongatus. This is rather an odd member of the 
Conifer family but a splendid foliage plant for a sheltered location. 
The long, slender leaves appear to grow in tufts, and the plant 
can be used to wonderful advantage as a background shrub in 
shady areas, and is also very good for indoor potted use. Gal. 
containers, 50c; 5-gal. containers, $1.70. 
Sequoias 
Sequoia gigantea (California Big Tree). As a matter of loyalty to 
the State of California we should plant as many of this variety 
as possible, even though only one. This tree is found in no other 
locality in the world and, although it is a very slow grower, it 
will do well in our yards and develop into a very symmetrical 
cone-shaped tree. The grayish-green foliage of this Sequoia will 
blend in well with other planting and it will most certainly be 
"a tree for the future." Gal. containers, 70c.
