MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORA. Withstands heaviest of winds. 
SILVER TREE 
Leucadendron argenteum. In areas where summer’s sun is 
quite warm and winter’s frost light this fantastic tree from 
Table Mountain, South Africa, thrives and presents a unique 
appearance. Six-inch long silvery white leaves of silken tex- 
ture crowd tightly around the stout branches, forming a 
dense thicket of glistening foliage. Catch yourself a white 
summer thundercloud, carve out a small round-headed tree, 
plant it in your garden and you won’t need a Silver Tree.

couldn't. 50 ft. Hardy. Balled, good heads, 8-9 ft., $17.50;

PICTURESQUE OLIVE 
Olea europaea. While not natives, Olive Trees are as typ- 
ically Southern California as real estate offices, beautiful 
women and unusual weather. These trees not only thrive in 
our mild climate but the interesting arrangement of the 
rough trunk, gnarled branches and silvery foliage lend them- 
selves particularly well to local types of architecture. Ex- 
tremely drought resistant. Hardy. Balled, heavy tops, 6-7 
ft., $6.00; 5-gal. containers, $3.50. 
EVERGREEN FLOWERING CHERRY 
Prunus pleiocerasus. To the best of our knowledge this 
is the first time this handsome variety has been offered for 
sale in Southern California. Better plant a specimen some- 
where on your place right now and you won’t have to travel 
half way round the world to Western China to see one. 
Forms a tall spreading airy tree to 40 or more feet in height. 
Many of the leaves fall in December followed immediately 
by countless pale pink cherry-like blossoms. New leaves 
follow almost at once. The tree is amazingly resistant to 
fungus diseases and will tolerate either drought or heavy 
watering. An ideal tree for shading Camellias or Azaleas.

thing but its best. Even in the coldest winters the artistic

may easily be trained flat against a wall. Hardy. 12-15 ft.

California Live Oak grows slowly but to the contrary we 
find that with just ordinary watering and care their growth 
compares favorably with any other good evergreen tree. We 
have grown sturdy spreading trees to a heightwotelzetuenn 
four years. 40 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.50.

other shade olving plants. 12-15 ft. Hardy. Balled, 7-8 ft.,

TRISTANIA 
Tristania conferta. Little known here, this shagegy-barked 
Australian tree thrives in our warm climate and will eventu- 
ally be widely used. It is a tree to 70 ft. tall of moderate 
spread and rather dense habit. The 6-8 inch long leaves are 
bright green. We have seen it growing in both light and 
heavy soils with practically no attention. Grows rapidly.

powers of description. We will simply tell you that here is a 
tree that requires no lengthy sales talk to put across. If you 
haven’t the tree, your neighbor has. You'll find him always 
eager to sing its praises. If planted in a section where violent 
winds occur these trees should be well braced when young 
and as they age should be thinned out before the windy 
season. 15-20 ft. Hardy. Balled specimens, 8-9 ft. with 4 ft. 
spread, $17.50; 5-gal. containers, $4.00.
