BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREEN TREES 
Please note, following descriptions, approximate height 
trees will grow. 

EUCALYPTUS TORQUATA—A dwarf tree that becomes 
more lovely with each passing year. 
THE SHOWY ACACIAS 
Acacias are particularly suited to our mild climate and, with 
a minimum of moisture, grow rapidly in any light well- 
drained soil. They are prone to be short lived in heavy 
ground. In areas where high winds occur the larger varieties 
should be trimmed previous to the stormy season. As they 
are the first trees to bloom in late winter their wealth of 
fragrant yellow bloom is most welcome. The foliage and 
flowers are valuable for interior decorations. Hardy. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Acacia baileyana. Symmetrical round headed tree to 25 ft. 
clothed with soft blue-green foliage. Bright yellow bloom 
in dense clusters over the entire tree. Fuzzy round blossoms 
are lasting when cut. 
Acacia latifolia. A grand large shrub for screening pur- 
poses. Polished lance-like foliage is dense and attractive. 
Large golden yellow bloom. 10-12 ft. 
Acacia podalyriaefolia. In our opinion the most lovely of 
all acacias. Silvery white leaves about one inch in diameter 
glisten like finest satin. Spreading habit. 12 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
ORCHIDS ON TREES 
Bauhinia purpurea. Orchids on trees? Don’t take our word 
for it. Come in at any time during March, April or May and 
see for yourself. The exotic, orchid-like flowers (orchid in 
color) and big butterfly leaves are ‘“‘a thing of beauty and a joy 
forever.” Round headed tree to 12 or 15 ft. Not particular as 
to soil but should not be planted in areas where heavy freezes 
are frequent. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. 
Bauhinia purpurea alba. Identical to the foregoing variety 
except for its white bloom. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.25. 
MORETON BAY CHESTNUT 
Castanospermum australe, An important importation from 
Australia. We have seen bright glossy foliage in other plants 
but for rich polished appearance this outstanding tree tops 
them all. Broad, much divided leaves to a foot or more in 
length and 6-inch racemes of striking orange and red bloom. 
Hardy. 40 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.75. 
CAROB TREE 
Ceratonia siliqua. Symmetrical, spreading and heavy with 
dark, round substantial leaves. Probably no other evergreen 
tree thrives in as many different locations. Heavy soil, light 
soil, hillside or on the level—they are all home to the Carob. 
Require some water during the first few years after planting, 
then are well able to care for themselves. Hardy. 25 ft. 
Balled, good heads, 6-7 ft., $5.50; 5-gal. containers, $3.25; 
gal. containers, $1.00. 
LEMON EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus citriodora. Grows tall and slender, the white 
barked trunk surmounted with drooping branches, closely 
lined with narrow pendant foliage. Presents a picturesque 
appearance against the sky. Fragrant lemon scented leaves. 
Hardy. 80 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
FLOWERING EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus ficifolia. The favorite variety for quantity and 
richness of bloom. Huge panicles of fuzzy scarlet blossoms 
furnish a startling display through the summer months. 
(Flowers are occasionally pink, white or orange.) Forms a 
spreading, compact tree to 25 feet. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
RAPID GROWING WINDBREAK 
Eucalyptus globulus compacta. Compact Blue Gum. No 
more suitable material for wind break or screening purposes. 
The dense silvery foliaged trees attain height rapidly and 
provide good cover right down to the ground. Thrives in 
nearly all locations with practically no attention. 30 ft. Hardy. 
5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 75c.
