SAVE A GENERATION! 
PLANT LARGE OAKS! 
LIVE OAKS are rapidly becoming 
the most popular Tree in the South, 
because they are evergreen, and be- 
cause they make such a shapely tree 
for any purpose they may be used. 
Our SPANISH TYPE of LIVE OAKS 
are the fastest growing variety, but 
even then it takes SEVERAL YEARS 
for a small tree to grow large 
enough TO GIVE SHADE. 
There is nothing more beautiful 
than the true ‘Spanish’? Live Oak. 
This type has thick, dark green, ob- 
long, pointed leaves that glisten in 
the sunlight, the under side being a 
grayish-green color, 
Experimental reports have been 
made by Experiment Stations after 
several years of study on suitability 
of soil for grorwing Live Oak trees. 
The tests show that they will grow 
on any kind of soil equally as well as 
on another, whereas, deciduous Oaks 
can only be grown on sour soil. Tests 
have also been made that Spanish 
Live Oaks ARE NOT susceptible to 
Texas Cotton Root Rot.

LIVE OAK (Spanish Type) 
Quercus virginiana 
Evergreen shade trees. Nur- 
sery grown Live Oak Trees 
live and thrive under all con- 
ditions when the Trees have 
been root-pruned and proper- 
ly Balled from the right kind 
of balling soil and pruned 
properly before they are dug. 
We have the complete 
stock from Acorns gathered in 
Florida from the choicest iso- 
lated grove in existence, so 
there is not a chance of hy- 
bridizing. This true type of 
fast-growing Oaks are des- 
tined to revise the idea that 
Live Oaks are a slow growing 
tree, much different from the 
ordinary native Live Oak in 
Louisiana and Texas, which we 
call the Scrub Live Oak, but 
take too long to grow. 
Always clean, rich green 
foliage. Very straight bodies. 
From young seedlings we trim 
to single stem in center.
