ACACIAS 
ACACIA BAILEYANA. A fine Acacia for general 
planting, and one of the most handsome. Fernlike, 
silvery, blue-green foliage, and in early spring the 
round head is covered with fragrant lemon-yellow 
flowers. Fast growing to about 30 feet. Gal. 75c, 
5-gal. $2.75. 
ACACIA FLORIBUNDA. Smaller round-headed tree, 
narrow leaves and with small creamy yellow flowers 
blooming during the summer. Gal. 60c, 5-gal. $2.50. 
ACACIA LATIFOLIA. A spreading tree to 20 feet, 
dense in growth and can be left to grow into a large 
shrub or single stem. Brilliant green foliage, and 
flowers of a bright yellow. 
WILLOW MYRTLE 
AGONIS FLEXUOSA. A beautiful small evergreen 
tree of drooping habit, and one of the most beauti- 
ful weeping trees grown. Lanceolate shaped leaves 
and in the early summer, it is a lovely picture with 
the many small white flowers all over the tree. Does 
not need much water, and will stand cold down to 
20 degrees. 
STRAWBERRY TREE 
ARBUTUS UNEDO. Usually grown as a large shrub, 
but makes a beautiful tree of 10 feet or slightly 
more. Foliage similar to California Holly, and in the 
summer little bell-shaped white flowers open up to 
be followed by brilliant strawberry-like fruits about 
Christmas time. Very hardy, stands cold and heat, 
and grows in sun or part shade. 
PURPLE ORCHID TREE 
BAUHINIA PURPUREA. A showy tree to about 15 
feet, with two-lobed leaves and three inch flowers 
resembling orchids of a pinkish lavender. A wonder- 
ful sight when the tree is in full bloom. Some leaves 
fall when the tree is in full bloom, but before the 
flowers fade and drop, the new growth is all out again. 
CAMPHOR TREE 
CAMPHORA OFFICINALIS. Good street tree and 
fine for ornamental purposes and shade. Beautiful 
foliage, bronzy red on the new growth, bright green 
when mature.

CALODENDRON CAPENSE. One of the finest new 
evergreen trees introduced in California. Grows from 
25 feet to 40 as a maximum, and makes a wonder- 
ful shade tree with a full rounded top. Loses some 
leaves just before blooming in April, but in rapid 
order six-inch panicles of rosy-lavender cover the 
entire tree, making a glorious display of color. 
CAROB 
CERATONIA SILIQUA. Hardy, rounded tree with 
neat dark green foliage. Planted widely as a street 
tree. Drought resistant and grows to 40 feet. 
QUEEN PALM 
COCUS PLUMOSA (Arecastrum romanzofficianum). 
Favorite palm for the Southland, with a tall, slender 
trunk, topped with a plume-like crown of feathery, 
graceful leaves. The roots need only a small space, 
and when once established need little water. Fine for 
parkways, patios and lawn plantings. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY TREE 
CLETHRA ARBOREA. This beautiful new in- 
troduction, aside from making a wonderful 
shrub, also is a fine small specimen tree, 
maturing to about 20 feet. In the late sum- 
mer, white bell-shaped flowers, similar to Lily 
of the Valley, hang in panicles from the hand- 
some foliage. Keep from hot or dry winds 
and give plenty of water.
