DECIDUOUS SHADE TREES 
To us it seems one of the first considerations in planting a home should be to put in a few properly 
spaced shade trees to shield the south and west windows from the hot summer sun. If you have neglected 
to attend to this matter, better give it serious consideration this winter when good dormant shade trees 
are easiest on your exchequer. Approximate heights of trees follow descriptions. 
Prices are for bare-root dormant stock unless otherwise specified. January, February, March delivery. 
MAIL ORDERS. Orders for dormant deciduous shade 
trees to be delivered beyond our regular truck routes are 
shipped by express during January, February and March, 
express charges collect. However, remittance to cover cost 
of plants must accompany order. Add 244% Sales Tax if 
orders are for delivery within California. 
SILVER MAPLE 
Acer saccharinum. If you're really in a hurry for shade, 
plant this hardy rapid growing variety. Good sized cool 
leaves, bright green above and soft green beneath, clothe 
the tree thickly from spring until winter. 50 ft. Well 
branched, specimen trees, 10-12 ft., $6.00; 8-10 ft., $4.50; 
young trees. 6-7 ft., $2.00; 15-gal. containers, $12.50; 5-gal. 
containers, $3.25. 
PINK HORSE CHESTNUT 
Aesculus carnea. A handsome tree of exceptionally sturdy 
growth characterized by huge dark hand-shaped leaves and 
8-inch panicles of pink bloom. Unusually hardy and drought 
resistant. 25 ft. 6-gal. containers, $6.50. 
Owing to the fact that our catalogue must of necessity be 
printed months in advance of the season for which it is in- 
tended, some price changes may be necessary. 
SILVER BIRCH 
Betula alba. At any season of the year these trees, planted 
either singly or in groups, are outstandingly lovely. Even in 
winter when bare of leaves the glistening white bark makes 
the trees particularly attractive. Well-branched specimens, 
10-12 ft., $10.00; 8-10 ft., $7.50; 6-8 ft., $2.75; 4-6 ft., $2.00; 15- 
gal. containers, $12.50; 5-gal. containers, $3.25. 
Betula pendula Cutleaf. Graceful beyond description these 
somewhat pendulous trees are clothed with soft, shimmering 
deeply cut foliage. Shining white bark peels as the tree ma- 
tures. 30 ft. Well-branched, 6-7 ft., $4.50; 4-6 ft., $3.75; 5- 
gal. containers, $4.00. 
MONTEBELLO ASH 
Fraxinus velutina coriacea. Will no doubt replace the Ari- 
zona Ash as a shade tree as it has larger, deeper green leaves. 
sets no pods to litter your yard and forms a dense symmetrical 
head. A most excellent tree for desert as well as coastal 
locations as it will withstand both drought and alkali. 25 ft. 
5-gal. containers, $3.25. 
MAIDEN HAIR TREE 
Ginkgo biloba. When young this tree is apt to be tall and 
slender but with age it broadens, spreading its maiden hair 
fern-like foliage to form a handsome tree of interesting pat- 
tern. In fall its 2\%4-inch leaves turn a lovely shade of vel- 
low. We like it and so will you. 35 ft. 5-gal. containers, $4.00.
