they are not. Their rapid growth, gnarled trunks, soft 
feathery drooping branches heavy with red berries, and their 
ability to thrive in any light soil without water have endeared 
them to all of us. Valuable for shade or street use. 40 ft. 
and about as broad as tall. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. con- 
tainers, 40c; 6-gal. containers, $3.50; 15-gal. containers, $7.50. 
BRAZILLIAN PEPPER 
Schinus terebinthifolius. A small tree to 20 ft. that spreads 
a flattened canopy of branches to about 15 ft. Interesting 
divided leaves and shiny pink berries. The tree is greatly 
prized, by those who know it, for its artistic value and its 
popularity is growing steadily. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, 
$1.50; gal. containers, 40c. 
FLOWERING OAK 
Tricuspidaria dependens. This is a small South American 
tree to 30 ft. that likes to keep its feet cool. So plant it in 
the lawn and it will produce in spring great big clusters of 
small white bells. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. con- 
tainers, 60c. 5 1A 
TRISTAN 
Tristania conferta. Little known here, this shaggy-barked 
Australian tree thrives in our warm climate and will eventu- 
ally be widely used. It is a tree to 7/0 ft. tall of moderate 
spread and rather dense habit. The 6-8 inch long leaves are 
bright green. We have seen it growing in both light and 
heavy soils with practically no attention. Grows rapidly. 
Hardy except in coldest locations. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; 
egal. containers, 50c. 
GRACEFUL EVERGREEN ELM 
Ulmus parvifolia. Long arching branches heavy with small 
polished leaves form a dense spreading crown of deep green 
beauty that unless pruned will droop to the ground. They 
are highly effective as specimen trees in the lawn, near 
pools, draped over walls or in wide parkings. Often, too, 
they are pruned flat on the under side and used to provide 
a shaded out-of-doors living room. Balled specimens, 7-8 ft. 
with 4-5 ft. spread, $7.50; 5-gal. containers, 6-8 ft., $1.75; 
gal. containers, 60c. 

BLUE SPRUCE, Picea pungens glauca. See page 35. 
VITEX 
Vitex lucens. This new dense growing tree from New 
Zealand is just beginning to command attention. It is an 
upright tree to 50 ft. with limited spread, bright green up- 
ward curving branches, most highly polished 5-in. leaves 
and heavy straight trunk. The tree bears panicles of dark 
red flowers that are followed by large bright red fruit. We 
recommend the tree for sections where frosts are not severe. 
5-gal. containers, $2.50. 
CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 
A class of plants that is used far too little in Southern California. They are strikingly handsome at all 
times, are generally disease free and require practically no attention. ‘They are, most of them, drought 
resistant and are not affected by extremes of temperatures. What more could we ask? 
PLEASE NOTE, following descriptions, approximate 
heights plants will grow. 
BLUE MT. ATLAS CEDAR 
Cedrus atlantica glauca. Stiff branches well clothed with 
burnished silvery foliage radiate from a sturdy central trunk 
to form a perfect tree. It does not attain the great size 
of the deodar so is particularly valuable for planting where 
space is limited. 35 ft. Grafted specimens in tubs, $6.00. «|:

STATELY DEODAR ve 
Cedrus Deodara. Himalayan Cecar. This is not only the 
most suitable tree for lighting at Christmas time but the

tree to all of us. Thrives in Southern California with little 
attention. 80 ft. Specimen plants balled, 6-7 ft., $6.00; 5-6 ft.,

BLUE LAWSON CYPRESS 
Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Allumii. Because of its com- 
pact pyramidal shape and glistening blue-green foliage this 
small evergreen is becoming more popular each year. The 
plant grows and thrives in alkaline-free soil. A most useful 
plant to break harsh corners of buildings, to frame large 
windows or to relieve the monotony of tall walls. 10 ft.

is attractive through all seasons. 5-gal. containers, $1.50;

A ROYAL CYPRESS

lateral branches grow thick and compact and the tree re- 
tains its slender form (and without any aggravating diet 
list) through many years. Specimen trees, balled, 7-8 ft., $3.50; 
6-7 ft., $3.00; 4-5 ft., $1.80; 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. con- 
tainers, 60c 
PERMANENT CHRISTMAS TREE 
Juniperus chinensis foemina. If you want a permanent 
Christmas Tree, one that will not outgrow a small space 
this tree will certainly fill the bill. It grows in a pyramidal 
manner to 15 ft. and the strong branches will hold many 
lights and decorations. Every time you see the tree you'll 
be looking around the corner for Santa Claus. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.50.
