THE SHOWY ACACIAS 
Of the evergreen trees few supply as much brilliant color, 
erace of limb or attractive foliage as the Acacias. Their 
decorative value, when cut, is known to everyone and for 
rapidity of 
erowth even the weeds have to take second

place. The larger varieties may not survive heavy winds 
unless properly thinned in fall. They enjoy sun, good drain- 
age and require a minimum of moisture. Hardy. 
Prices, unless otherwise noted: 5-gal. containers, $1.50; 
gal. containers, 40c. 
Acacia Baileyana. The blue green fern-like foliage is alive 
in early spring with sweetly scented lemon yellow bloom. 
A spreading tree of rapid growth to 25 ft. 
Acacia latifolia. An excellent barrier along lot lines or 
around tennis court or swimming pool as with a little prun- 
ing its long bright leaves will form a heavy screen. Valu- 
able also for draping over tall garden walls. Provides great 
quantities of large bright yellow flowers. 10-12 ft. 
Acacia longifolia floribunda. Most any time during spring 
or summer you may cut sprays of dainty sulphur yellow 
blossoms. Long narrow leaves. Bushy habit. 25-30 ft. 
Acacia podalyriaefolia. Pearl Acacia. Handsomest of all 
the acacias. It not only is the first variety to flaunt its yellow 
bloom in spring but its slender drooping branches and round 
leaves are the most interesting shade of shimmering silver 
green imaginable. Spreading habit. 12 ft. 5-gal. containers, 
$1.70; gal. containers, 50c. 
ORCHIDS ON TREES 
Bauhinia purpurea. A small tree of upright growth that is 
filled with colorful orchids in spring and huge green butter- 
flies in summer. (We may be running a little wild with our 
metaphors.) However, during March and April shallow 3-in. 
cup-shaped flowers of pink shaded lavender and purple are 
borne in marvelous profusion. They never fail to bring forth 
exclamations of amazement and appreciation. All through 
summer lobed leaves that resemble overgrown butterflies 
spread their wings each morning and fold them tightly at 
night. Hardy except in coldest locations. 12-15 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.70; gal. containers, 50c. 
Bauhinia purpurea alba. Identical to foregoing variety ex- 
cept that the flowers are white. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; 
egal. containers, 60c. 
CAPE CHESTNUT 
Calodendrum capensis. From South Africa comes this 
spreading light green foliaged beauty. Late in spring when 
most flowering trees have lost their color, the branch tips 
of this variety are heavy with large panicles of rosy-lilac 
flowers that are dotted with purple. Easily grown with good 
drainage. 40 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. con- 
tainers, 60c. 
MORETON BAY CHESTNUT 
Castanospermum australe. This tall sturdy-trunked tree 
from Australia has about everything you could ask from a 
tree, foot-long divided leaves so highly polished they fairly 
sparkle, bright racemes of orange flowers and long ‘pods 
filled with nuts, larger than chestnuts, that are said to be 
mighty good eating when roasted. 5-gal. containers, $2.50. 
CAROB TREES 
Ceratonia Siliqua. A remarkably drought resistant tree of 
symmetrical proportions for street planting or for use where 
a small round-headed tree is needed. Casts a heavy shade and 
the glossy foliage is always presentable. Requires practi- 
cally no water after being established for 2 or 3 years. 25 ft. 
Hardy except in coldest spots. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. 
containers, 40c. 
QUEEN PALM 
Cocos plumosa. They are little planted today, but regard- 
less of that fact, we are still intrigued by their graceful 
swaying fronds and tall sturdy trunks. 5-gal. containers, 
$1.70. 
EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus citriodora. Lemon Scented Eucalyptus. Slender 
tree to 80 ft. that when mature displays a towering white 
trunk surmounted with a thin feathery top that presents a 
remarkably artistic appearance against the sky. The foliage 
is heavily lemon scented. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. con- 
tainers, 50c.
