OAKS - Quercus 
Our Live Oaks have been regularly root pruned, and 
grown in our black heavy Beaumont Balling Soil, they 
ae have a compact root system, which makes the trans- 
planting of them more expensive but much more suc- 
cessful than forest-grown trees. 
a 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 
pppther, whereas deciduous Oaks can only be grown on

Fast Growing Evergreen Spanish Live Cak 
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 Serub 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.
