BROAD-LEAF EVERGREEN 
TREES 
In keeping with our description of conifers, these trees have broad 
leaves which remain in healthy condition all year. Many have ex- 
tremely bright flowers, often in great profusion as in Bauhinia and 
Jacaranda, delicate and graceful in Acacia, large and lovely and at any 
time on Magnolias. Others are just first class shade trees useful for 
all places where shade in winter is not objectionable. All trees of 
this group are sold with soil on the roots. 
Acacia 
Acacia baileyana. The best of the Acacias for general planting. Plumy 
bluish leaves, feathery in texture, completely clothing the dense round 
head. In late winter or spring it is yellow with fluffy yellow flowers. 
Does not cause lifting of the soil, heaving of pavements, etc., as does 
the Black Acacia and is never as dark and sombre. 5-gal. $3.50. 
Purple Orchid Tree 
Bauhinia purpurea. For a showy small tree, Bauhinia has many merits. 
The flowers, 2 inches across, have an appearance similar to orcnids, and 
are light pink to orchid purple with some admixture of white. At flow- 
ering time the tree is completely covered with flowers, especially if 
planted in sun. At this time, there are t w leaves remainiiig, out it will 
quickly leaf out again as the flowers fade. 5-gal. $3.50. 
Camphor 
Camphora officinatis. The standard street 
tree in many communities, Camphor makes 
a uniform pleasing growth of light green 
leaves. The main branches make picturesque 
patterns, usually grey, but become black 
when wet by rains, thus increasing the effect. 
Camphor is distilled from the wood of this 
tree. 5-gal. $3.50. 
Carob 
Ceratonia siliqua. Extremely hardy and suit- 
able for street planting, this low round 
headed tree is one of the best. It has dark 
grey-green rounded leaves and inconspicuous 
flowers. 5-gal. $3.50.

ing trees, and many small flowering trees,

lished. Beautiful as a shade tree for garden or lawn, especially where 
space is at a premium. 5-gal. $3.50.
