CAROB, CERATONIA SILIQUA 
Modesto Ash 
Fraxinus velutina glabra. A fast growing shade tree forming a dense 
rounded crown of deep green foliage. Modesto Ash was selected and 
propagated as a distinct variety because of its ability to shed dust 
during the dry rainless summer. It always has a clear neat appearance. 
Fast growing and requiring little water, it thrives equally well along 
the coast or inland. 8 to 10 feet, $3.00; 10 to 12 feet, $3.50. 
Sweet Gum 
Liquidambar styraciflua. This is the only large tree to turn really bril- 
liant in fall. The maple-like leaves assume shades of crimson and 
scarlet, later becoming almost purple before falling. It makes a cone- 
shaped pyramidal crown well filled with foliage and not wide spread- 
ing. Thus it is ideal as a street tree, lawn specimen or even as a back- 
ground or shade tree for medium sized lots. 5-gallon or balled speci- 
mens, 4 to 5 feet, $3.75; 6 to 7 feet specimens, $5.00. Not handled 
bare root. 
Sycamores 
Platanus orientalis, European Sycamore. One of the finest shade trees 
for lawns or street planting. Makes a fairly compact rounded head of 
maple-like leaves. The bark is attractive on the trunk and larger 
branches because the outer parts peel off, thus exposing the light 
colored inner bark. Sycamores are clean, neat growing trees suitable 
for refined plantings anywhere. They do appreciate generous watering, 
especially during growth. 6 to 8 ft. $2.25; 10-12 ft. $3.50. 
Platanus racemosa. A native tree and frequently seen as large, tall 
specimens with open branching crowns, and at other times as clumps 
of several trunks spreading in picturesque twisted fashion. The leaves 
are large and the individual lobes longer and more pointed than the 
European Sycamore, although the bark has the same mottled appear- 
ance. A neat tree either in youth or in old age. 6-8 ft. $2.25; 10-12 
ft. $3.50. 
Chinese Elm 
Ulumus pumila. A rapid growing shade tree similar to the evergreen 
elm but the branches are always more or less upright. Leaves small, 
deep green, well clothing the crown. They stay on until late in the 
year and return early in spring, giving a long season of dense shade. 
Chinese elm is a medium size tree, never getting very large either in 
height or spread. 8-10 ft. $2.25; 10-12 ft. $3.00.
