OAKS ARE 
EVER- 
LASTING 
The Shade Tree 
of the South, 
nothing can com- 
pare to the 
MAJESTY of the 
OAKS—because 
of their LONG- 
EVITY, ever- 
lasting beauty 
and RAPID 
GROWTH, the 
Oaks are now 
preferred to all 
other Shade 
trees. 




PLANT EVERGREEN LIVE OAKS 
OA K S—Quercus 
Nursery grown Live Oak Trees Live and thrive 
under all conditions when the Trees have been trans- 
planted and root-pruned and properly Balled and Bur- 
lapped from the right kind of soil and pruned properly 
as they are dug for shipment. 
For the best results in planting our Live Oak Trees, 
we urge you to let us use our Best Judgment in Prun- 
ning the tops when we dig your orders for shipment. 
We recommend stripping and thinning out all the small 
limbs, the size of a pencil or smaller. 

Fast Growing Exergreen Spanish Live Oak 
Experimental reports have been made by Experi- 
ment Stations after several years of study on suit- 
ability of soil 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. Tests have also been 
made that Spanish Live Oaks ARE NOT susceptible 
to Texas Cotton Root Rot. 

Live Oaks are rapidly becoming the most popular 
Shade Tree in the South, because they are Evergreen, 
and make such a Shapely tree for any purpose they 
may be used. The Spanish type of Live Oaks are the 
Fastest growing variety. 
We have the complete stock from Acorns gathered 
in Florida from the choicest isolated groves in exist- 
ance, so there is not a chance of hybridizing. This 
true type of FAST-GROWING OAKS is designed to 
revise the idea that Live Oaks are a slow growing 
tree, much different from the ordinary native Live 
Oak tree. 

Specimen Live Oaks Enroute to Planting. 
There is nothing more beautiful than the true 
“SPANISH” LIVE OAK. This type has thick dark 
green, oblong, pointed leaves that glisten in the sun- 
light, the under-side being a grayish-green color. Al- 
ways clean, rich foliage. Very straight bodies. From 
young seedlings we trim to single stem in center, not 
allowing forks. In years to come, forked trees may 
split open and ruin the tree.
