The list of trees which is offered to our customers we can 
strongly recommend. They are carefully grown and trained. 
The roots are well developed and the stems are straight. 
Grown in nursery rows for a number of years, our Shade 
Trees are vastly superior in every way to the trees which 
may be obtained from the woods and transplanted to the

ANISE TREE (Jilicium anisatum). H-3. A 
handsome, broad-leaved evergreen shrub 
or small tree of narrow, upright habit, 
reaching a height of 10 to 12 feet. Hardy. 
AUSTRALIAN PINE (Casuarina cunning- 
hamiana). H-2. A fine avenue tree that does 
well near salt water. The branches are 
jointed, and dense heads of tiny flowers 
form globular cones. 
AUSTRALIAN SILK OAK (Grevillea ro- 
busta). H-2. A rapid-growing tree with 
fern-like foliage. Adapted to south Florida. 
BAUHINIA purpurea. H-2. A_ small, 
shrubby, nearly evergreen tree, producing 
a profusion of blue-purple, orchid-like 
flowers in winter and early spring. Hardy 
in central Florida. 
CAMPHOR TREE (Cinnamomum cam- 
phora). A desirable broad-leaved ever- 
green tree. Thrives well in Florida and 
along the Gulf Coast. Grows vigorously, 
with branches close to the ground. 
CHERRY LAUREL (Laurocerasus carolini- 
ana; Carolina Laurel). H-4. A splendid 
native, broad-leaved evergreen tree with 
bright glossy leaves. Unrestricted specimens 
reach a height of 40 feet or more. They are 
true shade trees, blooming profusely when 
grown in this form. The flowers are white 
and. slightly fragrant. They are well 
adapted to shearing and shaping into 
pyramids, columns, globes, etc., as well 
as for hedges. 
CHINESE REDBUD (Cercis chinensis). 
We believe that this newly introduced 
Asiatic Redbud, with its purplish pink 
flowers, will find immediate favor with the 
planting public. Individual blooms, often 
measuring 34 inch in length, are borne in 
heavy clusters along the branches. Ulti- 
mate height is said to be around 50 feet and 
the rate of growth is somewhat faster than 
that of Canadensis. The foliage and 
general appearance of the tree is very simi- 
lar to that popular and well-known type. 
See illustration on page 2. 
CRAB-APPLE (Malus angustifolia). In the 
spring these shapely trees are covered with 
pale pink blossoms. The big trees often 
reach a height of 25 feet. They rival in 
beauty the Flowering Cherries of Wash- 
ington fame, and may be used in the Lower 
South where the Cherries cannot be grown. 
DOGWOOD (Cornus florida). A small 
tree or large shrub with a spreading bushy 
top. Foliage brilliantly colored and beauti- 
ful flowers are followed by scarlet fruits. 
WEAVER DOGWOOD. Several years ago 
we found and adopted this strain because 
of its superior characteristics, stronger and 
larger foliage with larger and more numer- 
ous blooms. Trees of Weaver reach bloom- 
ing age more quickly than any Dogwood 
we have grown heretofore. The variety 
has proved so outstanding that during 
the past two seasons we have diverted 
most of our propagations to it. See color 
illustration on page 12. 
GORDONIA alatamaha (Franklinia alata- 
maha). A shapely deciduous tree with 
blackish bark and 6-inch shiny leaves 
which turn scarlet in autumn. Three-inch 
milk-white Magnolia-like flowers are borne 
inautumn. Likes peaty or sandy soil where 
the tree grows to 20 feet. 


Gordonia lasianthus (Loblolly Bay). A 
fine native evergreen tree reaching a height 
of 50 to 60 feet. Leaves large, dark green, 
shiny. Flowers white, resembling magnolias. 
HOLLY. See page 9. 
JERUSALEM THORN (Parkinsonia acu- 
leata). H-3. An interesting thorny shrub 
or small tree which may reach 30 feet. The 
fragrant yellow flowers are borne in loose 
racemes followed by 5-inch seed-pods. 
KOELREUTERIA formosana. A small or 
medium-sized tree with deciduous foliage 
resembling that of the Texas Umbrella. 
Flowers yellow, in large panicles in early 
fall, followed by beautiful pink fruits. 
MAGNOLIA. See pages 16 and 17. 
MAPLE, Scarlet (Acer rubrum). Hardy, 
deciduous tree, growing to large size. 
Leaves light green above, white beneath, 
changing to scarlet and gold in autumn. 
MIMOSA TREE (Albizzia julibrissin). 
H-4. A small, hardy, deciduous tree with 
low, spreading, flat-topped head and finely 
divided, dark green leaves. Large clusters 
of pink flowers in summer. 
OAK (Quercus) 
LAUREL OAK (Quercus laurifolia). These 
fine trees often grow to a height of 60 feet, 
and are partially deciduous in north 
Florida. The oblong leaves are sometimes 
6 inches long; shining dark green above and 
light green underneath. Laurel Oaks grow 
more rapidly than Live Oaks, but a bit 
slower, as a rule, than Water Oaks. 
WATER OAK (0. aquatica; Q. nigra). The 
tallest and fastest growing of the Oaks— 
to 80 feet. Nearly evergreen in our climate. 
Bluish green leaves about 3 inches long. 
LIVE OAK (0. virginiana). Famous both as 
landmarks of southern history and for 
their majestic beauty. The longest-lived 
and slowest-growing of the three varieties, 
this evergreen tree reaches 60 feet in height 
and spread. The shining dark green leaves 
are elliptic to oblong.

GLEN SAINT MARY NURSERIES CO., Glen Saint Mary, Florida 

Cherry Laurel, For specimen planting or tall hedges 
PEACH, FLOWERING, HELEN BORCH- 
ERS. Double-flowered variety. The clear 
pink flowers average over 2 inches across; 
petals are ruffled and incurved. When cut 
for use in the home the blooms hold up un- 
usually well. The tree is a vigorous grower, 
particularly when planted on medium to 
heavy lands. When these are not available, 
a mulch of straw or leaves will help achieve 
the same purpose. 
PLUM, FLOWERING. Small, deciduous 
tree, producing a gorgeous mass of double, 
pink, sweet-scented flowers in winter before 
the leaves appear. Very striking. 
QUINCE, FLOWERING (Cydonia ja- 
ponica). We do not hesitate to recommend 
both the red- and the pink-flowering varie- 
ties for vivid and profuse spring color. 
They have been grown at Glen Saint Mary 
for several years now with good success. 
Halt deciduous in this section, they seldom 
attain more than 5 feet in height, with 
about the same spread. Spiny branches; 
leaves 2 inches long, coarsely toothed. 
Flowers average 1 inch in diameter and are 
orange-scarlet or salmon-pink—two dis- 
tinct types, so far unnamed here. Both ma- 
ture yellow fruit. 
REDBUD (Cercis canadensis). The Ameri- 
can Redbud or Judas Tree is a small, 
nicely shaped, deciduous tree with rounded 
leaves and produces an abundance of rosy 
pink flowers in early spring. As the flowers 
appear before the foliage, a Redbud in full 
flower is a lovely picture. See color 
illustration on page 12. 
SWEET GUM (Liquidambar styraciflua). 
Rapid-growing, deciduous tree. Leaves 
bright green, changing to brilliant shades 
of red and crimson in autumn. 
WHITE JUDAS TREE (Cercis canadensis 
alba). A very beautiful variety of Red 
Bud or Judas Tree with pure white flowers. 
It is one of the most attractive of the early 
spring-flowering trees and worthy of a 
place in any garden.
