Mail orders accepted for delivery on our regular truck 
routes only. See page 3. 
For planting information see page 30. 
Please note, following descriptions, approximate height 
trees will grow. 
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, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. 
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. Small yellow bloom in abundance. 
Spreading habit. 12 ft. 
FOR HEAVY SHADE 
Avecado. Why Avocados are not more widely used as 
shade trees is a mystery to us. No other trees provide more 
dense shade; few good evergreen trees grow as rapidly. They 
are attractive through the whole year and in addition bear 
usable fruit. For shading a 20 to 25 foot area a Puebla is 
ideal. For a larger space we recommend the Fuerte. Balled, 
each, $6.00 and up.

CERATONIA SILIQUA—Provides dense shade. Withstands drought. 

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, sometimes white) and big butterfly leaves are ‘“‘a thing 
of beauty and a joy forever”. Round headed tree to 12 to 15 
ft. Not particular as to soil but should not be planted in 
areas where heavy freezes are frequent. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.75. 
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, $3.75. 
FLOWERING OAK 
Crinodendrum dependens. This is a small South American 
tree to 30 ft. that likes to keep its feet cool. So plant it in 
the lawn and it will produce in Spring great big clusters of 
small white bells. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.75. 
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, $3.50. 
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, 
$3.75. 
PINK FLOWERING EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus sideroxylon. Planted either singly or in 
groups, these slender gray foliaged trees are attractive in all 
seasons. Countless pink blooms in Summer add to their orna- 
mental value. 35 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.50. 
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, $3.75. 
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, $3.75. 
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. Hardy. 5-gal. 
containers. $3.50. 
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. Balled, 9-10 ft., $19.50; 5-gal. containers, 
$3.50. 
BIG LEAVED LOQUAT 
Loquat. You will find the seedling Loquats more satis- 
factory as shade trees than the budded sorts. The seedlings 
form compact, round headed trees, to 15 feet or more tall 
and about as wide, clothed with dark heavy leaves to as much 
as a foot in length. Provide the kind of shade you appre- 
ciate when the hot summer days come along. Balled, 7-8 ft., 
heavy heads, $15.00; 5-gal. containers, $3.75.
