Enjoy Shade in Summer, Foliage the 
Year ‘Round. PLANT ROEDING’S QUALITY 
EVERGREEN TREES 
The evergreen trees are typically Californian. They 
represent varieties that have been gathered from the 
temperate regions of the world and many of them are 
erroneously considered California Natives, particu- 
larly the Eucalpti and Acacias, so well have they fitted 
into our planting scheme. Because winter visitors 
marvel at the bright green foliage in winter, the ever- 
green trees have given more of its “glamour” than 
any other single group of plants.

A USEFUL SHADE TREE OF EXCEPTIONAL BEAUTY 
THE CORK OAK 
The Mediterranean Cork Oak (Quercus suber) is 
destined to make history in California. Practi- 
cally unnoticed since first plantings were made 
in California 65 years ago, this beautiful and 
picturesque tree will receive widespread plant- 
ing in the next decade, thanks to the combined 
efforts of University of California forestry in- 
vestigators and manufacturers of cork products. 
The California Nursery Company is proud to 
enlist its services in the distribution of this 
beautiful evergreen oak throughout the state. 
It should be planted wherever space permits. 
Any soil condition will please the Cork Oak so 
long as it is well drained. It thrives under ad- 
versity, but will reward its owners with rapid, 
graceful growth when given regular attention. 
Use the Cork Oak as single specimens where 
shade and dignified beauty is desired—plant 
along drives and roadways, 25 feet or more 
apart. 5 g. c. 45’ $3.75; single plants (gallon- 
can size) $1.00; 10 plants for $9.00.
