THE SHOWY ACACIAS 
Of the evergreen trees few supply as much brilliant color, 
grace of limb or attractive foliage as the Acacias. Their 
decorative value, when cut, is known to everyone and for 
rapidity of growth even the weeds have to take second 
place. The larger varieties may not survive heavy winds 
unless properly thinned in fall. They enjoy sun, good drain- 
age and require a minimum of moisture. Hardy. 
Prices, unless otherwise noted: 5-gal. containers, $2.50; 
gal. containers, 75c. 
Acacia Baileyana. The blue green fern-like foliage is alive 
in early spring with sweetly scented lemon yellow bloom. 
A spreading tree of rapid growth to 25 ft. 
Acacia latifolia. An excellent barrier along lot lines or 
around tennis court or swimming pool as with a little prun- 
ing its long bright leaves will form a heavy screen. Valu- 
able also for draping over tall garden walls. Provides great 
quantities of large bright yellow flowers. 10-12 ft. 
Acacia podalyriaefolia. Pearl Acacia. Handsomest of all 
the acacias. It not only is the first variety to flaunt its yellow 
bloom in spring but its slender drooping branches and round 
leaves are the most interesting shade of shimmering silver 
green imaginable. Spreading habit. 12 ft. 
ORCHIDS ON TREES 
Bauhinia purpurea. A small tree of upright growth that is 
filled with colorful orchids in spring and huge green butter- 
flies in summer. (We may be running a little wild with our 
metaphors.) However, during March and April shallow 3-in. 
cup-shaped flowers of pink shaded lavender and purple are 
borne in marvelous profusion. They never fail to bring forth 
exclamations of amazement and appreciation. All through 
summer lobed leaves that resemble overgrown butterflies 
spread their wings each morning and fold them tightly at 
night. Hardy except in coldest locations. 12-15 ft. See color 
illustration page 27. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. contain- 
ers, 85c. 
Bauhinia purpurea alba. Identical to foregoing variety ex- 
cept that the flowers are white. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. 
containers, 85c. 
CAROB TREES 
Ceratonia Siliqua. A remarkably drought resistant tree of 
symmetrical proportions for street planting or for use where 
a small round-headed tree is needed. Casts a heavy shade and 
the glossy foliage is always presentable. Requires practi- 
cally no water after being established for 2 or 3 years. 25 ft. 
Hardy except in coldest spots. Balled, 6-7 ft., $4.50; 5-gal. 
containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 75c. 
EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus citriodora. Lemon Scented Eucalyptus. Slender 
tree to 80 ft. that when mature displays a towering white 
trunk surmounted with a thin feathery top that presents a 
remarkably artistic appearance against the sky. The foliage 
is heavily lemon scented. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. con- 
tainers, 85c. 
FLOWERING EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus ficifolia. Through most of the summer this 
medium sized bushy tree flaunts its great showy panicles 
of fuzzy scarlet blossoms. (Occasionally a tree is pink, 
white or orange.) The huge leathery leaves are edged and - 
shaded with maroon. 25 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; 
gal. containers, 75c. 
A MARVELOUS WINDBREAK 
Eucalytus globulus compacta. If you want a heavy 12-15 
ft. wind break or screen that requires practically no attention 
this silvery-gray leaved bushy tree is unequalled. Forms a 
thick shimmering mass of attractive foliage right down to 
the ground. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. contain- 
ers, 00G: 
PINK FLOWERING EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus sideroxylon rosea. Pink Iron Bark. A most 
satisfactory tree, used singly or in groups, for garden plant- 
ing. The slender drooping form, gray bark and narrow gray 
leaves combine to make an intensely interesting tree. In- 
numerable rose pink flowers in summer. Grows rapidly. 35 
ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 85c.
