PURPLE ORCHID TREE 
Acacia 
Acacia baileyana. The best of the Acacias for general planting. 
Plumy bluish leaves, feathery in texture, completely clothing the 
dense round head. In late winter or spring it is yellow with fluffy 
yellow flowers. Does not cause lifting of the soil, hzaving of 
pavements, etc., as does the Black Acacia and is never as dark 
and sombre. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $3.30. 
Purple Orchid Tree 
For a showy small tree, Bauhinia has many 
merits. The flowers, 2 inches across, have an app2arance similar 
to orchids, and are light pink to orchid purple with some admix- 
ture of white. At flowering time the tree is completely covered 
with flowers, especially if planted in sun. At this time, there 
are few leaves remaining, but it will quickly leaf out again as the 
flowers fade. Gal. 90c, 5-gal. $3.30.

Calodendron capense. One of the loveliest small round 
headed trees for neatness of growth and large clusters of

years of satisfaction. 5-gal. $3.85. 
Camphor 
Camphora officinalis. The standard street tree in many com- 
munities, Camphor makes a uniform pleasing growth of 
light green leaves. The main branches make picturesque 
patterns, usually grey, but become black when wet by rains, 
thus increasing the effect. Camphor is distilled from tne 
wood of this tree. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.85. 
Carob

planting, this low round headed tree is one of the best. It

flowers. Gal. 75c, 5-gal. $3.30. 
Lily of the Valley Tree 
Clethra arborea. Small speciment tree, whose 4-inch long 
shiny green leaves make an attractive head. In late sum- 
mer long panicles of fragrant white bell-shaped flowers ap- 
pear. These delicate little blooms look like Lilies of the 
Valley, hence the name. Give plenty of moisture and plant 
where sheltered from hot, dry winds. Gal. 95c, 5-gal. $3.85.

and the warmer parts of the Southwest. It includes the only 
really tall growing trees, and many small flowering trees, all 
natives of Australia, and well suited to our growing condi-

esque tree with graceful white trunk and upward-reaching 
branches. The soft, feathery tufts of long narrow leaves
