DECIDUOUS SHADE TREES 
Trees and more trees is the crying need of Southern California. It really gets warm here, 
the 
Chamber of Commerce notwithstanding. Deciduous trees afford welcome restful shade in summer and 
allow you to enjoy the warm winter sun. Approximate heights of trees follow descriptions. 
Prices are for bare-root dormant stock unless otherwise specified. January, February, March delivery. 
MAPLE TREES 
Acer dasycarpum. Silver Maple. A large spreading tree to 
50 ft. that with a moderate amount of water will supply 
ample shade in a short time. The characteristic maple foliage 
is bright green on the upper surface and gray green under- 
neath. Hardy anywhere in the coastal belt. Well branched 
specimen trees 10-12 ft., $3.00; 8-10 ft., $2.00.- Young trees, 
well branched 6-7 ft., $1.25; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; 15-gal. 
containers, $6.00. 
JAPANESE MAPLE 
Acer palmatum. Moderately slow growing large shrub or 
small tree with thin branches that are handsomely foliaged 
with 2-inch deeply cut leaves. The fresh new growth when 
it first appears is a lively red which changes to glistening 
green. The chill of autumn nights paints the leaves vivid 
shades of scarlet and gold. A 10-12 ft. tree that is easily 
grown in any sunny or semi-shaded location. An excellent 
subject for espalier. Balled, bushy 3-4 ft., $4.00; 2-3 ft., 
$3.00; 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 
CALIFORNIA ALDER 
Alnus rhombifolia. For rapidity of growth, beauty of fo- 
liage and unquestionable character this remarkable tree from 
our own California canyons is outstanding. The upright tree, 
spreading sufficiently to afford good shade, is heavily clothed 
through the entire growing season with large cool leaves of 
deepest green. One of the best trees for the lawn as it 
appreciates moisture. Well branched specimens, 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.00; 15-gal. containers, 10-12 ft., $6.00. 
WHITE BIRCH 
Betula alba. Silver Birch. This slender 20 ft. tree is out- 
standingly lovely at all times. Through the growing season 
the thin swaying branchlets and quivering leaves cast their 
graceful shadows. In winter the picturesque white bark 
glistens in the winter sun. Planted either singly or in groups 
they have high ornamental value. Well branched specimens 
10-12 ft., extra heavy, $4.50; 8-10 ft., extra heavy, $3.25; 6-8 
ft., heavy, $2.00; 6-gal. containers, $3.50; 5-gal. containers, 
$2.00; 15-gal. containers, $6.00. 
Betula pendula laciniata. Cutleaf Weeping Birch. Grace- 
fully pendulous tree with thin branches that are strung with 
small deeply cut leaves. Shining white bark that peels as the 
tree matures. Grows to about 30 ft. tall and half as wide. 
Well branched specimens; 5-gal. containers, $3.50. 
MAIDENHAIR TREE 
Ginkgo biloba. Tall tree to 35 ft., rather slender when 
young, but quite spreading as it matures. The pright green 
foliage resembles Maiden Hair Fern but is built along much 
more generous and substantial lines. Individual leaves will 
measure as much as 2% in. across. In autumn the leaves are 
brilliant yellow. Easily grown most anywhere. 5-gal. contain- 
ers, $2.50; 15-gal. containers, $10.00. 

WHITE BIRCH 
SWEET GUM 
Liquidambar Styraciflua. For planting in narrow parkings 
or in the background of small shrub plantings this small 
pyramidal tree has no equal. The shining maple-like leaves, 
which are borne thickly over the tree, turn in fall to ex- 
quisite shades of orange, red, gold and maroon and remain 
on the tree a remarkably long time. Once seen—never for- 
gotten! Balled, heavy 6-7 ft., $2.50; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; 
gal. containers, 75c; 15-gal. containers, $8.00. 
TULIP TREE 
Liriodendron Tulipifera. Tall straight trunked tree which 
spreads to symmetrical proportions. The thick growing 
maple-like leaves make it a particularly desirable shade tree. 
Large showy tulip-shaped yellow flowers and golden fall 
leaves are added attractions. 60 ft. Well branched specimens 
6-7 ft., $2.00; 5-gal. containers, $2.50. 
MONTEBELLO ASH 
Will no doubt replace the Arizona Ash as a shade tree as it 
has larger, deeper green leaves, sets no pods to litter your 
yard, and forms a dense symmetrical head. A most excellent 
tree for desert as well as coastal locations as it will withstand 
both drought and alkali. 25 ft. 6-8 ft., $1.50; 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.00. 
WEEPING MULBERRY 
Morus alba venosa Weeping. Trained over a light frame 
work will form the slickest out-of-doors living room imag- 
inable. Slender drooping branches strung with lush glossy 
leaves will give you all the privacy you could wish. Put up 
a hammock, buy—or better yet, borrow—a good book and 
really relax. 8-10 ft., 5-gal containers, $3.00.
