CERATONIA SILIQUA—Provides Dense Shade 
SILK OAK 
Grevillea robusta, Silk Oak. Large tree with pyramidal, narrow 
crown of fern-like foliage lightened in early summer with masses 
of fluffy golden yellow flowers. Fine as a street tree. 
JACARANDA 
Jacaranda mimosaefolia, Jacaranda. Handsome flowering tree with 
attractive light green fern-like foliage making a rounded crown. 
The entire tree bursts into a mass of violet-blue tubular flowers 
in June. Fine street or specimen tree. 
SUGAR PLUM TREE 
Lagunaria pattersoni. Small narrow tree, often a shrub, with hand- 
some grey-green foliage and neat mallow-like flowers of rose-pink. 
Recommended for sea-coast planting but does well inland too! 
MAGNOLIA 
Magnolia grandiflora, Southern Mag- 
nolia. Large growing evergreen trees 
always neat in its glossy foliage. The 
immense white fragrant water-lily-like 
flowers appear throughout the sum- 
mer. Give generous amounts of water 
for better blooms. 
MISSION OLIVE 
Olea europea, Manzanillo variety. The 
ornamental value of Olives has been 
recognized a long time but not prac- 
ticed as much as it should. The old 
gnarled, picturesque grey trunks and 
wide spreading masses of greyish green 
foliage are a prize in themselves. Even 
if we don’t grow them for the fruits 
an olive grove with trees 25 feet apart 
in even rows is attractive beyond de- 
scription. Olives almost thrive on neg- 
lect once they are established. Hardy.
