Trees 
We take pleasure in presenting the following list of trees. Those garden- 
ers who admire trees which, in addition to being rare and beautiful, succeed 
in Southern California, will find a number which have never before been 
offered for sale in California, and which should by all means be grown by 
tree lovers. 
ACER oblongum. ‘‘Evergreen Maple’’ (aceraceae) Western and 
Central China. Narrow oblong leaves entirely unlike those of other 
Maples. Tree grows to an ultimate height of 40 or 50 feet. Quite rare 
and unusual. 10°. 1 gal. $0.75; 5 gal. $2.00.

evergreen tree with graceful drooping habit and small lance shaped 
fragrant leaves and innumerable small white flowers in the early summer; 
grows well with water or without, is resistant to a good many degrees of
