give SHADE and SHELTER 
OWHERE in the country is shade so acceptable or so 
necessary as in the South. Whether in park or city street, | 
country road or lawn, shade trees are valued, not as luxuries, but | 
as necessities for health and comfort. Nothing adds more to the | 
home-grounds, nothing so improves the appearance of town or 
city, as well-placed, healthy, vigorous shade trees. 
We can strongly recommend the list of trees offered to our 
customers. They are carefully grown and trained. The roots are 
well developed and the stems are straight. Grown in nursery 
rows for a number of years, our shade trees are vastly superior in 
every way to the trees which may be obtained from the woods 
and transplanted to the home-grounds.

ANISE TREE (lllicium anisatum). H-3. A 
handsome, broad-leaved evergreen shrub 
or small tree of narrow, upright habit, 
reaching a height of 10 to 12 feet. Hardy. 
AUSTRALIAN PINE (Casuarina cunning- 
hamiana). H-2. A fine avenue tree that does 
well near salt water. The branches are 
jointed, and dense heads of tiny flowers 
form globular cones. 
AUSTRALIAN SILK OAK (Grevillea ro- 
busta). H-2. A rapid-growing tree with 
fern-like foliage. Adapted to south Florida. 
BAUHINIA purpurea. H-2. A_ small, 
shrubby, nearly evergreen tree, producing 
a profusion of blue-purple, orchid-like 
flowers in winter and early spring. Hardy 
in central Florida. 
CAMPHOR TREE (Cinnamomum cam- 
phora). A desirable broad-leaved ever- 
green tree. Thrives well in Florida and 
along the Gulf Coast. Grows vigorously, 
with branches close to the ground. 
CHERRY LAUREL (Laurocerasus carolini- 
ana; Carolina Laurel). H-4. A splendid 
native, broad-leaved evergreen tree with 
bright glossy leaves. Unrestricted specimens 
reach a height of 40 feet or more. They are 
true shade trees, blooming profusely when 
grown in this form. The flowers are white 
and slightly fragrant. Well adapted to 
shearing and shaping into pyramids, col- 
umns, globes, etc.,;-as well as for hedges. 
CRAB-APPLE (Malus angustifolia). In the 
spring these shapely trees are covered with 
pale pink blossoms. The big trees often 
reach a height of 25 feet. They rival in 
beauty the Flowering Cherries of Wash- 
ington fame, and may be used in the Lower 
South where the Cherries cannot be grown. 
See color illustration on page 12. 
DOGWOOD (Cornus florida). A small 
tree or large shrub with a spreading bushy 
top. Beautiful flowers are followed by 
scarlet fruits; fall foliage brilliantly col- 
ored. 
DOGWOOD, Weaver. Several years ago 
we found and adopted this strain because 
of its superior characteristics, stronger and 
larger foliage with larger and more numer- 
ous blooms. Trees of Weaver reach bloom- 
ing age more quickly than any Dogwood 
we have grown heretofore. The variety 
has proved so outstanding that during 
the past two seasons we have diverted 
most of our propagations to it. See color 
illustration on page 12. 
GINKGO biloba (Salisburia adiantifolia). 
Beautiful and interesting tree from China 
growing to a height of 60 feet or more. 
Erect growth; foliage resembles that of 
the maidenhair fern. Free from disease 
and insect pests. Desirable for street 
planting. One of the oldest known trees, 
traceable to geologic times. 
GORDONIA alatamaha (Franklinia alata- 
maha). A shapely deciduous tree with 
blackish bark and 6-inch shiny leaves 
which turn scarlet in autumn. Three-inch 
milk-white magnolia-like flowers are borne 
inautumn. Likes peaty or sandy soil where 
the tree grows to 20 feet. See color illus- 
tration on page 12. 
lasianthus (Loblolly Bay). A fine native 
evergreen tree reaching a height of 50 to 
60 feet. Leaves large, dark green, shiny, 
Flowers white, resembling magnolias. 
HOLLY. See page 9. 
Block of Cherry Laurel. 
For specimen planting 
or tall hedges 



JERUSALEM THORN (Parkinsonia acu- 
leata). H-3. An interesting thorny shrub 
or small tree which may reach 30 feet. The 
fragrant yellow flowers are borne in loose 
racemes followed by 5-inch seed-pods. 
LIRIODENDRON tulipifera (Tulip Tree). 
Tall, symmetrical shade tree with straight 
trunk and dark green, unusual-shaped 
leaves. Flowers like inverted tulips, green- 
ish yellow with orange at base. 
MAGNOLIA. See pages 16 and 17. 
MAPLE, Scarlet (Acer rubrum). Hardy, 
deciduous tree, growing to large size. 
Leaves light green above, white beneath, 
changing to scarlet and gold in autumn. 
MIMOSA TREE (Albizzia julibrissin). 
H-4. A small, hardy, deciduous tree with 
low, spreading, flat-topped head and finely 
divided, dark green leaves. Large clusters 
of pink flowers in summer. See color illus- 
tration on page 12. 
OAK (Quercus) 
BASKET OAK (Quercus prinus). Often 
attains 100 feet. Leaves deciduous, to 7 
inches long, coarsely toothed, shiny bright 
green above and grayish pubescent be- 
neath. The acorns are over an inch in 
length. A relatively fast grower. 
LAUREL OAK (Q., liurifolia). These fine 
trees often grow to a height of 60 feet, and 
are partially deciduous in north Florida. 
The oblong leaves are sometimes 6 inches 
long; shining dark green above and light 
green underneath. Laurel Oaks grow more 
rapidly than Live Oaks, but a bit slower, 
as a rule, than Water Oaks. 
LIVE OAK (0. virginiana). Famous both as 
landmarks of southern history and for 
their majestic beauty. The longest-lived 
and slowest-growing of the four varieties, 
this evergreen tree reaches 60 feet in height 
and spread. The shining dark green leaves 
are elliptic to oblong. 
WATER OAK (Q. aquatica; Q. nigra). A 
tall and fast-growing Oak—to 80 feet. 
Nearly evergreen in our elimate. Bluish 
green leaves about 3 inches long. 
PEACH, FLOWERING, HELEN BORCH- 
ERS. Double-flowered variety. The clear 
pink flowers average over 2 inches across; 
petals are ruffled and incurved. When cut 
for use in the home the blooms hold up un- 
usually well. The tree is a vigorous grower, 
particularly when planted on medium to 
heavy lands. When these are not available, 
a mulch of straw or leaves will help. 
PLUM, FLOWERING. Small, deciduous 
tree, producing a gorgeous mass of double, 
pink, sweet-scented flowers in winter before 
the leaves appear. Very striking. 
| QUINCE, FLOWERING (Cydonia ja- 
ponica). We do not hesitate to recommend 
both the red- and the pink-flowering varie- 
ties for vivid and profuse spring color. 
They have been grown at Glen Saint Mary 
for several years now with good success. 
Halt deciduous in this section, they seldom 
attain more than 5 feet in height, with 
about the same spread. Spiny branches; 
leaves 2 inches long, coarsely toothed. 
Flowers average 1 inch in diameter and are 
orange-scarlet or salmon-pink—two dis- 
tinct types, so far unnamed here. Both ma- 
ture yellow fruit. 
QUINCE, FLOWERING, Crimson-Gold. 
The best red we have seen. The color is 
rich crimson and the flowers are larger than 
most of the older varieties. Bright golden 
stamens are prominent. 
REDBUD (Cercis canadensis). The Ameri- 
can Redbud or Judas Tree is a small, 
nicely shaped, deciduous tree with rounded 
leaves and produces an abundance of rosy 
pink flowers in early spring. As the blooms 
appear before the foliage, a Redbud in full 
flower is a lovely picture. See color illus- 
tration on page 12. 
REDBUD, Chinese (Cercis chinensis). An 
Asiatic Redbud with purplish pink flowers. 
Individual blooms, often measuring 34 inch 
in length, are borne in heavy clusters 
along the branches. Ultimate height is 
said to be around 50 feet and the rate 
of growth is somewhat faster than that of 
Canadensis. The foliage and general ap- 
pearance of the tree is very similar to 
that popular and well-known type. 
REDBUD, White (Cercis canadensis alba). 
A very beautiful variety of Redbud or 
Judas Tree with pure white flowers. It is 
one of the most attractive of the early 
spring-flowering trees and worthy of a 
place in any garden. 
SWEET GUM (Liquidambar styraciflua). 
Rapid-growing, deciduous tree. Leaves 
bright green, changing to brilliant shades 
of red and crimson in autumn. 
WEEPING MULBERRY (MVorus). Grown 
in tree form, it presents a gracefully pen- 
dent appearance somewhat on the order 
of Weeping Willow. Attractive fruit is 
produced along the arching branches. 
WEEPING WILLOW (Salix babylonica). 
Well known and loved. Large spreading 
top and long pendulous branches. Needs 
a moist, well-drained soil like a ditch bank 

or the edge of a pond or stream. May 
grow to 50 feet.
