LONDON PLANE TREE 
Platanus acerifolia. We have discontinued growing the 
Oriental Sycamore because of its susceptibility to blight. 
This selected variety from which we have propagated our 
trees is particularly disease resistant, grows more rapidly 
than other varieties and maintains its rich green appearance 
through summer. Grows proudly erect, spreading its heavy 
leaved branches to afford a maximum of welcome shade. The 
smooth bark is silver-green in color. 60 ft. Well branched 
specimens, grafted trees. 8-10 ft., $3.75; 6-8 ft., $2.75; 15-gal. 
containers, $12.50; 6-gal. containers, $6.75. 
CALIFORNIA SYCAMORE 
Platanus racemosa. Preferred by many folks because of 
its unique and irregular growth. This tree is typically South- 
ern California and few homes are without it. Particularly 
suitable for group plantings. Handsomely mottled white bark 
and big furry maple-like leaves. This variety is subject to 
leaf troubles in summer so plant where falling leaves will not 
worry you too much. 60 ft. Well branched specimens, 12-14 
ft., $10.50 up; 10-12 ft., $7.50 and up; 8-10 ft., $4.50 and up.

POPLARS 
We do not recommend Poplars for local plantings as they 
are subject to borers which in time cause whole limbs to die. 
However, for use in dry desert areas where few varieties of 
trees will flourish they are ideal. Alkali tolerant. 
Populus deltoides. Carolina Poplar. Spreading trees, to 
60 feet or more, with big polished leaves, that provide a 
heavy shade. Grows rapidly. Drought resistant. Bare root, 
6-8 ft., $2.25; 5-gal. containers, $3.50.

liaged trees of columnar shape to 50 feet, which are used 
principally to form screens along lot lines. May also be used 
to advantage in groups. Bare-root, 6-8 it., $2.25; 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.50. 
HARDY ELMS 
Ulmus americana. American Elm. A native of the east 
coast that enjoys growing anywhere in our coastal belt. For 
covering a large area quickly and thoroughly it has no su- 
perior. Large, heavily veined, deep green leaves line the long 
reddish brown branches. A tree of really majestic propor- 
tions to 60 ft. tall and 40 or 50 ft. in spread. Branched trees,

times attack the foliage. Spray with cryolite for control.
