makes this 
exceptional 
with their 
add to its 
tree which grows from 25 to 75 feet 
specimen with its tall pyramid shape an 
living Christmas tree. The branchlets 
bundles of needles hanging gracefully, 
beauty. 
BLUE LAWSON CYPRESS 
CHAMAECYPARIS LAWSONIANA. Slow growing 
hardy native, maturing to about 10 feet, and always 
attractive with its blue green feathery foliage. Can 
be sheared to keep in shape. 
CYPRESS 
CUPRESSUS FORBESI. This variety has rapidly dis- 
placed the Monterey Cypress, which has been sus- 
ceptible to fungus and borers and rarely lives very 
long in our parts. C. Forbesi is a fast growing tree 
upwards to 20 feet, and can be used for specimen 
trees or a fine screening hedge. The silvery green 
foliage fills in thickly and makes a compact tree in 
conical shape. 
CUPRESSUS MACROCARPA, Monterey Cypress. A 
picturesque Cypress, especially along the coast where 
the winds whip it into unusual shapes. Used widely 
for windbreaks and hedges, but in some sections the 
dreaded fungus is fatal to this variety. 
CUPRESSUS SEMPERVIRENS FASTIGIATA, Royal 
Italian Cypress. Tall, slender dark green type, with 
very little spreading habit even in old age. The finest 
of the tall Italian Cypress varieties, very closely grow- 
ing. 
PICTURESQUE PINES 
PINUS CANARIENSIS. Narrow, symmetrical tree 
with horizontal branches evenly spaced in whorls 
about the straight trunk. Long needles in large tufts. 
Easy to grow. beautiful to see, and long-lived. 
PINUS HALEPENSIS. Rapid growing to about 50 
feet (smaller than Canariensis), and resembles the 
Monterey Pine but longer lived. Dense, spreading tree, 
with short needles. Seemingly thrives on neglect.

USEFUL JUNIPERS 
JUNIPERUS PFITZERIANA. A semi-prosrate variety, 
with a spreading habit, and never more than four 
feet tall. Makes a bushy mass of grey-green foliage, 
and quite useful in foundation planting. Hardy any- 
where, and seems to like most any soil. 
JUNIPERUS CHINESIS COLUMNARIS. A tall, nar- 
row column growing to about 10 feet, with bright 
blue-green dense foliage. Long living and thrives in 
any climate. Fine for specimen planting. Not as tall 
as the Italian Cypress but slightly thicker in growth. 
JUNIPERUS CHINESIS TORULOSA. A twisted varie- 
ty, very unusual, and picturesque with densely crowded, 
tufted and gnarled branches without any pruning or 
shaping. Always neat, however, with deep green, 
finely textured foliage. Grows to eight feet. 
INCENSE CEDAR 
LIBOCEDRUS DECURRENS. One of the finest native 
evergreens. Tall, dense deep green pyramid of lustrous 
fragrant foliage. Easily adapted to most any condi- 
tions. Will reach from 20 to 50 feet. 
FERN PINE 
PODOCARPUS ELONGATUS. Soft, finely-cut green 
foliage, very fern-like in appearance. Since becoming 
better known, it has become widely used, and fits 
into most any planting. This variety will do well in 
the shade, and grows to 15 feet. 
PODOCARPUS MACROPHYLLUS. Slightly larger 
than P. Elongatus, with lighter green leaves, and 
slower growing. Withstands pruning, and is fine for 
a formal specimen. Will also do well in shade, where 
most other coniferous evergreens become scraggly in 
their search for light. 
IRISH YEW 
TAXUS BACCATA FASTIGIATA. Narrow columns of 
deepest green foliage. Very slow upright growth, fine 
for accents. Incomparable for framing doors in formal 
gardens. The trees we offer are already many years 
old, and you will find are priced economically.
