UNUSUAL EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus erythrocorys. Those of you who appreciate 
color and the unusual, too, will enjoy this slender-leaved 
beauty. Early in summer big red capsules form on the thin 
branches. In mid-summer each swelling capsule lifts its tight 
fitting cap, displaying a mass of golden stamens. Reminds us 
of a golden-haired youngster—minus the freckles—with his 
cap perched precariously on the back of his head. Hardy.

SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA 
Magnolia grandiflora. Noble seems to be the most fitting 
word to describe this magnificent tree. It is most generous 
in every aspect: huge polished leaves, heavy straight trunk, 
sturdy round limbs, a wide-spreading top that casts alluring 
shade, and waxy white single flowers as large as luncheon 
plates that are the last word in exquisite fragrance. Prefers 
rich soil and plenty of moisture. 50 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.75; gal. containers, 85c.

tion of its size. 10 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. contain- 
ers, $1.25. 
MISSION OLIVE 
Olea europaea. A landscape design of any size doesn’t 
seem to be complete these days without one or more olive 
trees. The silvery foliage, bizarre arrangement of the gnarled 
trunk and branches together with the ornamental black fruit 
make it a highly desirable tree. This is one tree that almost 
thrives on neglect. Hardy. Balled, heavy tops, 6-7 ft., $5.50; 
536. it. $0.75. 5-eal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 85c.

EVERGREEN PEAR 
Pyrus Kawakami. The luxurious green of this attractive 
tree is not changed in the least by summer heat or winter 
cold. The slender heavily clothed branches (sometimes 
drooping, often upright) form an informal tree of great 
value for planting near pools, draped over walls or espaliered. 
Bears innumerable frosty white flowers in spring that are 
delightfully fragrant. Our supply is limited. Balled, good 
heads 6-7 ft., $7.50; 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal, containers, 
$1.25. Bush type, 3-4 ft., $3.50. 
LIVE OAKS 
Quercus agrifolia. California Live Oak. This tree is, with- 
out doubt, our,most valuable native evergreen tree. The 
sturdy dark trunk and strong spreading branches defy 
heavy winds. The brilliant foliage is always handsome and 
even the yellow catkins, that the humming birds and titmice 
prize for nest making, are interesting. Contrary to prevailing 
opinion these trees grow quite rapidly with normal watering. 
Hardy in any weather and almost any soil. 40 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.75; gal. containers, 85c.

ft. spread, $12.50; 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 85c. 
FLOWERING OAK 
Tricuspidaria dependens. This is a small South American 
tree to 30 ft. that likes to keep its feet cool. So plant it in 
the lawn and it will produce in spring great big clusters of 
small white bells. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. con- 
tainers, 85c. 
TRISTANIA 
Tristania conferta. Little known here, this shaggy-barked 
Australian tree thrives in our warm climate and will eventu- 
ally be widely used. It is a tree to 70 ft. tall of moderate 
spread and rather dense habit. The 6-8 inch long leaves are 
bright green. We have seen it growing in both light and 
heavy soils with practically no attention. Grows rapidly.

polished leaves form a dense spreading crown of deep green 
beauty that unless pruned will droop to the ground. They

pools, draped over walls or in wide parkings. Often, too, 
they are pruned flat on the under side and used to provide 
a shaded out-of-doors living room, Balled specimens: 8-9
