BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREEN TREES 
Please note, following descriptions, approximate height 
trees will grow. 

JACARANDA ACUTIFOLIA 
Lacy foliage; blue flowers in June. 
THE SHOWY ACACIAS 
Acacias are particularly suited to our mild climate and, with 
a minimum of moisture, grow rapidly in any light well- 
drained soil. They are prone to be short lived in heavy 
ground. In areas where high winds occur the larger varieties 
should be trimmed previous to the stormy season. As they 
are the first trees to bloom in late winter their wealth of 
fragrant yellow bloom is most welcome. The foliage and 
flowers are valuable for interior decorations. Hardy. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Acacia baileyana. Symmetrical round headed tree to 25 ft. 
clothed with soft blue-green foliage. Bright yellow bloom 
in dense clusters over the entire tree. Fuzzy round blossoms 
are lasting when cut. 
Acacia latifolia. A grand large shrub for screening pur- 
poses. Polished lance-like foliage is dense and attractive. 
Large golden yellow bloom. 10-12 ft. 
Acacia podalyriaefolia. In our opinion the most lovely of 
all acacias. Silvery white leaves about one inch in diameter 
glisten like finest satin. Spreading habit. 12 ft. 
ORCHIDS ON TREES 
Bauhinia purpurea. Orchids on trees? Don’t take our word 
for it. Come in at any time during March, April or May and 
see for yourself. The exotic, orchid-like flowers (orchid in 
color) and big butterfly leaves are “‘a thing of beauty and a joy 
forever.’ Round headed tree to 12 or 15 ft. Not particular as 
to soil but should not be planted in areas where heavy freezes 
are frequent. Balled, 6-7 ft., $9.50; 5-gal. containers, $3.25; 
gal. containers. $1.25. 
The ornamental possibilities of the evergreen fruit- and nut- 
bearing trees should not be overlooked in planning your land- 
scape design. Avocado trees are especially valuable for pro- 
viding shade in the patio. The foliage and growing habits 
of Olive, Macadamia and most Citrus varieties are to be 
recommended. 
Bauhinia purpurea alba. Identical to the foregoing variety 
except for its white bloom. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.25. 
CAROB TREE 
Ceratonia siliqua. Symmetrical, spreading and heavy with 
dark, round substantial leaves. Probably no other evergreen 
tree thrives in as many different locations. Heavy soil, light 
soil, hillside or on the level—they are all home to the Carob. 
Require some water during the first few years after planting, 
then are well able to care for themselves. Hardy. 25 ft. 
5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
LEMON EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus citriodora. Grows tall and slender, the white 
barked trunk surmounted with drooping branches, closely 
lined with narrow pendant foliage. Presents a picturesque 
appearance against the sky. Fragrant lemon scented leaves. 
Hardy. 80 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
FLOWERING EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus ficifolia. The favorite variety for quantity and 
richness of bloom. Huge panicles of fuzzy scarlet blossoms 
furnish a startling display through the summer months. 
(Flowers are occasionally pink, white or orange.) Forms a 
spreading, compact tree to 25 feet. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
RAPID GROWING WINDBREAK 
Eucalyptus globulus compacta. Compact Blue Gum. No 
more suitable material for wind break or screening purposes. 
The dense silvery foliaged trees attain height rapidly and 
provide good cover right down to the ground. Thrives in 
nearly all locations with practically no attention. 30 ft. Hardy. 
5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 75c. 
PINK FLOWERING EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus sideroxylon. Planted either singly or in 
groups, these slender gray foliaged trees are attractive in all 
seasons. Light colored bark and countless pink blooms in 
summer add to their ornamental value. 35 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Eucalyptus polyanthemos. Its round silvery green leaves 
and graceful spreading branches are admired by everyone. 
Is entirely comfortable in any weather. Excellent for cut 
decorations. 45 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.00. 
: Eucalyptus torquata. Dense upright tree to 12 ft. Three- 
inch, red tinged, lance-like leaves. A multitude of fuzzy red 
bloom in summer. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.25. 
SILK OAK 
Grevillea robusta. Hardy Queensland tree of slender habit 
that grows rapidly with little water or attention. The dainty 
fern-like foliage is augmented in summer with highly attrac- 
tive racemes of golden orange blossoms, 80 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
FERN-LIKE JACARANDA 
Jacaranda acutifolia. Because of their graceful, fernlike 
foliage, symmetry of outline and abundant panicles of violet 
blue bloom these trees are becoming increasingly popular. In 
June the trees are just big showy bouquets of scintillating 
blue. 35 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, 
$1.00. 
SILVER TREE 
Leucadendron argenteum. In areas where summer’s sun 
is quite warm and winter’s frost light this fantastic tree from 
Table Mountain, South Africa, thrives and presents a unique 
appearance. Six-inch long silvery white leaves of silken tex- 
ture crowd tightly around the stout branches, forming a 
dense thicket of glistening foliage. Catch yourself a white 
summer thundercloud, carve out a small round-headed tree, 
plant it in your garden and you won’t need a Silver Tree. 30 
ft. Gal. containers, $2.50.
