EVERGREEN PEAR 
Pyrus Kawakami. The luxurious green of this attractive 
tree is not changed in the least by summer heat or winter 
cold. The slender heavily clothed branches (sometimes 
drooping, often upright) form an informal tree of great 
value for planting near pools, draped over walls or espaliered. 
Bears innumerable frosty white flowers in spring that are 
delightfully fragrant. Our supply is limited. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.50. 
LIVE OAKS 
Quercus agrifolia. California Live Oak. This tree is, with- 
out doubt, our most valuable native evergreen tree. The 
sturdy dark trunk and strong spreading branches defy 
heavy winds. The brilliant foliage is always handsome and 
even the yellow catkins, that the humming birds and titmice 
prize for nest making, are interesting. Contrary to prevailing 
opinion these trees grow quite rapidly with normal watering. 
Hardy in any weather and almost any soil. 40 ft. 15-gal. con- 
tainers, $6.00; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 60c. 
Quercus glauca. A magnificent tree to 50 ft. with well 
rounded head. Husky leaves to 5 inches long. Symmetrical 
and highly ornamental. Grows rapidly. 5-gal. containers, 
$2.00. 
HOLLY OAK 
Quercus ilex. Handsome tree to 60 ft. Bright green holly- 
like leaves. Clean of limb and trunk. A sturdy round-headed 
tree of elegant proportions. 5-gal. containers, $2.00. 
CALIFORNIA PEPPER TREE 
Schinus Molle. We have become so accustomed to seeing 
these trees all through the warmer parts of Southern Cali- 
fornia that we think of them as being native citizens—which 
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, $1.75; gal. con- 
tainers, 50c. 
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. 15-gal. containers, 
$7.50; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 50c. 
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, $2.00; gal. con- 
tainers, 60c. 
TRISTANIA 
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 70 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, $2.00; 
gal. containers, 60c. 
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., $2.00; 
gal. containers, 60c. See illustration, page 20. 
TUTTLE BROS. SPRING FLOWERING TREES 
Unless otherwise specified prices are for bare-root dormant stock. January, February, March delivery. 
Probably no other act of nature promotes the comfortable feeling of well being as does the bursting 
of flower buds in the early spring. Make the proper selection of varieties and you will enjoy spring from 
January until May. 
Please note: Approximate height of trees usually follows the description. 
PINK HORSE CHESTNUT 
Aesculus carnea. A very valuable tree where a medium 
sized tree is needed for the huge dark leaves and large panicles 
of pink flowers are showy in the extreme. The tree is un- 
usually hardy and drought resistant. 20 to 25 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $4.75. 
RED BUD 
Cercis canadensis. A small round leaved tree to 12 ft., just 
the right size to fit in a rather small spot in the garden. 
Great quantities of rose pink pea-shaped flowers are borne 
in late spring. Well branched trees 6-8 ft., $1.80; 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.00; 15-gal. containers, $6.00. 
FLOWERING DOGWOODS 
Cornus florida. Mere words are entirely inadequate to de- 
scribe the virgin beauty of this outstanding tree when banked 
with its huge single pearly white blossoms. A small spreading 
tree of graceful proportions that thrives best in a location 
where partly shaded. 10-12 ft. 6-gal. containers, $4.50; 5-gal. 
containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 75c. 
Cornus florida rubra. Red Flowering Dogwood. The most 
spectacular of all the Dogwoods. Large single blooms shad- 
ing from light pink to red appear in great numbers in 
February and March. Dark green undulating leaves. Plant 
in part shade with peat or leaf mold. 8 ft. 5-gal. containers, 
$4.00; 6-gal. containers, $6.00. See illustration, page 22.

CORAL TREE 
Erythrina Crista-galli. An exceedingly busy 15-ft. tree 
from Brazil. With the first warm weather in February it 
begins to throw out heavy varnished green branches and 
foliage. Along about the first of June enormous clusters of 
2-inch pea-shaped flowers appear to charm you with their 
wealth of crimson red. The tree makes several growths every 
summer and never forgets to add, with each growth, its 
showy blooms. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 7Sc. 
FLOWERING PEACHES 
For the past 20 years we have been gathering together a 
collection of flowering peach and feel that we now have the 
best assortment to be found anywhere. We take particular 
pains in growing our trees, pruning them to produce shapely 
crowns. The stronger growing varieties are headed out at 
about 38 in. We ball our trees insuring better growth and 
plenty of bloom the first season. 
Prices: 14-5 in. caliper, $1.75; 54-11/16 in. caliper, $2.00; 
5-gal. containers, $1.75. Speciment trees of most varieties, 
$3.00 to $17.50. Except Weeping White. Note approximate 
time of coming into bloom. 
Bicolor. Presents the most striking appearance of any of 
the flowering peaches as it bears large double flowers some 
of which are entirely red and the rest ivory white streaked 
and blotched with red. February 1.
