Eucalyptus globulus (Blue Gum). This is probably the most gen- 
erally planted of all varieties because of its extremely fast growth 
and its desirability for wind-break planting or for fire wood. It 
attains a height of about 80 feet. Gal. containers, 40c; 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $1.65. 
Eucalyptus globulus compacta. Here is a variety of the blue gum 
which is well adapted to hedge work. Because of its rapid growth 
it makes an ideal screening material. As a hedge it can easily be 
kept at a height of 6-8 feet. Gal. containers, 40c; 5-gal. containers, 
$1.70. 
Eucalyptus polyanthemos (Red Box Eucalyptus). This is a slower 
growing variety and one that does not attain the extreme height 
of some of the others, 50 feet being about average for this one. 
Its very round leaves of grayish color present a striking appear- 
ance. Its extreme hardiness makes it a very good tree for hot, dry 
cilmates. Gal. containers, 50c; 5-gal. containers, $1.70. 
Eucalyptus rudis (Desert Gum). This variety grows into a very 
handsome tree, attaining a height of approximately 75 feet. Its 
dark green pendulous leaves and the shaggy bark on the trunk 
make this tree a good one for specimen or avenue planting. 
Gal. containers, 40c; 5-gal. containers, $1.65. 
Eucalyptus viminalis (Manna Gum). This is one of the tallest 
growing varieties of them all and a very rapid grower. It seems to 
thrive on hot weather and is extremely hardy as Eucalyptus go, 
both as to frost and a limited amount of moisture. Gal. containers, 
40c; 5-gal. containers, $1.65. 
Grevillea robusta (Silk Oak). This evergreen shade tree is one 
that has proven very successful with us in Southern California, 
because our local conditions are similar to its native Australia. The 
tree attains a height of about 60 feet and is rather columnar in 
shape. The beautiful, finely cut leaves present a fern-like appear- 
ance to the foliage, and during the summer the stiff clusters of 
orange colored flowers present a very showy spectacle. Gal. 40c; 
S-gal. $1.70. 
Jacaranda mimosaefolia. The extremely delicate fern-like foliage 
gives a soft, feathery shade which is always desirable. This tree 
has one peculiar characteristic in that the leaves are shed in the 
spring and immediately thereafter the heavy crop of blue flowers 
appear over the entire tree, borne in large, heavy clusters. The new 
foliage will appear about the time the tree is in full bloom. It attains 
a height of about 35 to 40 feet and of liberal spread. Gal. contain- 
ers, 50c; 5-gal. containers, $1.75. 
Lagunaria pattersoni. A small tree of pyramidal growth, well 
adapted to planting on the home grounds, both inland and along 
the coast. Not only is it a graceful tree with greyish-green leaves 
but in early summer literally covers itself with crisp little pink flow- 
ers, 2 inches across, closely resembling Hibiscus. Gal. 45c; 5-gal. 
$1.75. 
Dracena indivisa. One of the best plants that we have, belong- 
ing to the Palm family and appropriate for use on Spanish or 
Mexican architecture particularly. Grows rapidly, maintaining a 
single stem until it blooms for the first time, at which time it will 
branch out into two or more heads. The long, pointed, strap-like 
leaves radiate gracefully from the main head of the plants. Its 
mature height is about 30 feet. Gal. containers, 40c; 2-3 ft., $1.50; 
4-5 ft., $1.70. 
Magnolia grandiflora. This tree should need no description be- 
cause it is known and admired by everyone. It is one of the 
most stately trees that we have to offer, because of its very glossy, 
dark green foliage and enormous pure white flowers. The tree is 
slow growing, but if one wishes to plant for permanence it would 
be difficult to get a tree of longer life or one that would be more 
generally satisfactory. This tree will attain a height of about 60 
feet after many years. Gal. containers, 50c; 5-gal. containers, $2.00. 
Parkinsonia aculeata. An extremely odd tree that, as a result of 
being native to desert regions for centuries, has developed a habit 
of doing its breathing through its branches as much as through 
its leaves, and as a result, the leaves are extremely tiny and 
sparse. During the summer the tree is liberally covered with 
yellow flowers resembling those of the Acacia, and although the 
shade is slight, this tree will make a beautiful addition to ones 
yard. Gal. containers, 40c; 5-gal. containers, $1.70. 
Quercus agrifolia. This sturdy tree should need no description 
to anyone living here, or who has even driven through our 
countryside, because it is a native tree to be found all over the 
State. The tree will require little or no training except that of estab- 
lishing its height of head and from then on it may be left alone to 
develop naturally into a beautiful, spreading shade tree of excep- 
tional hardiness. Gal. containers, 50c; 5-gal. containers, $2.00 and 
up. 


SOUTHERN 
MAGNOLIA 

Schinus Molle (California Pepper Tree). Sweeping branches of 
feathery foliage and clusters of red berries has made this a very 
popular tree in California. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
Schinus Terebinthifolius (Brazilian Pepper Tree). A smaller tree 
than the above with tight bunches of deep salmon pink berries. It 
has a broad compound leaf and grows into a beautiful shape with 
a liberal spread and compact head. A very clean tree. Gal. 40c; 
=F wD leoe 
Ulmus Parvifolia. A medium sized tree with slender bright green 
leaves and a weeping habit of growth. Evergreen except in the 
colder sections where it will drop the foliage for about six weeks. 
The spreading habit of growth makes this one of our best shade 
trees. Very fine for parkway planting or where a dense shade is 
desired. Grows very rapidly with a fair amount of moisture. 1-gal. 
40c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
Ulmus Sempervirens (Evergreen Elm). Very similar to the above 
but possible with a much more weeping habit of growth, dark 
green leaves, and a little slower in growth. Makes a very dense 
shade and as a general rule the spread of the tree will equal the 
height. One of the best small evergreen trees that can be planted. 
l-gal. 60c; 5-gal. $2.25. Prices for larger sizes on request.
