SEQUOIA GIGANTEA. C161. (California Big 
Tree.) Because these trees are the oldest liv- 
ing things most people believe them to be 
slow growing. They really grow very rapidly 
when young and make beautiful specimens. 
No other tree is so symmetrical. They are ideal 
for park planting, especially where they can 
be used for community Outdoor Christmas 
Trees. 5 g. c. $4.25; 1 g. c. $1.25. 
S. SEMPERVIRENS. C162. (California Red- 
wood.) A group of these graceful native trees 
will add much charm to the planting of a 
country place. They grow rapidly and in- 
crease in beauty as they mature. 5 g. c. $4.75;
