SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA 
Magnolia grandiflora. A magnificent tree in every respect, 
Big bold polished leaves, enormous fragrant saucer-shaped 
flowers of frosty white, stout limbs that defy the heaviest 
winds and wide spreading foliage that casts an alluring shade. 
What more could we ask in a tree? The answer is, we 
couldn't. 50 ft. Hardy. Balled, good heads, 5-6 ft., $8.50; 5- 
gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Magnolia grandiflora Exmouth. To those of you who are 
limited for space we recommend this smaller magnolia which 
has the same luxuriant foliage and showy bloom but is dwarf 
in habit. 5-gal. containers, $3.75; gal. containers, $1.25. 
PICTURESQUE OLIVE 
Olea europaea. While not natives, Olive Trees are as typ- 
ically Southern California as real estate offices, beautiful 
women and unusual weather. These trees not only thrive in 
our mild climate but the interesting arrangement of the rough 
trunk, gnarled branches and silvery foliage lend themselves 
particularly well to local types of architecture. Extremely 
drought resistant. Hardy. Balled, heavy tops, 5-6 ft., $6.00; 
5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
LUXURIANT EVERGREEN PEAR 
Pyrus kawakami. Here is one tree that never looks any- 
thing but its best. Even in the coldest winters the artistic 
foliage is bright and clean. A tree of graceful drooping habit 
that lines its long branches with deep green varnished leaves. 
Bears fragrant white blossoms in spring. The pliant branches 
may easily be trained flat against a wall. Hardy. 12-15 ft. 
Balled, good heads, 6-7 ft., $15.00; 5-gal. containers, $3.75; 
eal. containers, $1.35. 
CALIFORNIA LIVE OAK 
Quercus agrifolia. Most everyone seems to think the 
California Live Oak grows slowly but to the contrary we 
find that with just ordinary watering and care their growth 
compares favorably with any other good evergreen tree. We 
have grown sturdy spreading trees to a height of 12 ft. in 
four years. 40 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, 
$1.00. 
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. 

CALIFORNIA LIVE OAK—Quercus agrifolia. 
PEPPER TREE 
Schinus molle. Combine graceful drooping branches, ferny 
foliage, white flowers and bright clusters of red berries that 
remain on the tree through winter. Grow rapidly with no 
care whatever. Valuable as shade trees or parking speci- 
mens. Hardy. 50 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers,

BRAZILIAN PEPPER 
Schinus terebinthifolius. A highly desirable tree for patio

other shade loving plants. 12-15 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers,

TRISTANIA 
Tristania conferta. Little known here, this shaggy-barked 
Australian tree thrives in our warm climate and will eventu- 
ally be widely used. It is a tree to 7/0 ft. tall of moderate 
spread and rather dense habit. The 6-8 inch long leaves are 
bright green. We have seen it growing in both light and 
heavy soils with practically no attention. Grows rapidly.

gal. containers, $1.25. 
GRACEFUL EVERGREEN ELM

description. We will simply tell you that here is a tree that 
requires no lengthy sales talk to put across. If you haven't 
the tree, your neighbor has, You'll find him always eager 
to sing its praises. 15-20 ft. Hardy. Balled specimens, 8-9 
ft. with 4 ft. spread, $17.50; 7-8 ft. with 3 ft. spread, $15.00;
