OAKS-Quercus 
Nursery grown Live Oak Trees live and thrive under all conditions when the Trees have been root-pruned and 
properly Balled from the right kind of balling soil and pruned properly as they are dug. 
Live Oaks are rapidly becoming the most popular Shade Tree in the South, because they are evergreen, and be- 
cause they make such a shapely tree for any purpose they may be used. Our Spanish type of Live Oaks are the 
fastest growing variety but even then it takes Several years for a small tree to grow large enough to give shade. 
There is nothing more beautiful than the true “Spanish” Live Oak, This type has thick dark green, oblong, pointed 
leaves that glisten in the sunlight, the under side being a grayish-green color. 
OAKS - Quercus 
Our Live Oaks have been regularly root pruned, and 
grown in our black heavy Beaumont Balling Soil, they 
have a compact root system, which makes the trans- 
planting of them more expensive but much more suc- 
cessful than forest-grown trees. 
Experimental reports have been made by Experiment 
stations after several years of study on suitability of 
soils for growing Live Oak trees. The tests show that 
they will grow on any kind of soil equally as well as on 
another, whereas deciduous Oaks can only be grown on 
sour soil. 

Fast Growing Evergreen Spanish Live Oak 
LIVE OAK (Spanish Type) Quercus virginiana 
We have the complete stock from Acorns gathered in Florida from 
the choicest isolated groves in existence, so there is not a chance 
of hybridizing. This true type of fast-growing Oaks are destined 
to revise the idea that Live Oaks are a slow growing tree, much 
different from the ordinary native Live Oak in Louisiana and Texas, 
which we call the Scrub Live Oak, but takes too long to grow. 
Always clean, rich foliage. Very straight bodies. From young seed- 
lings we trim to single stem in center, not allowing forks even on 
our 20 foot trees. In centuries to come these forked trees may 
split open and ruin the tree.
