CONCLUSION 
We are at present propagating trees from many different parts of the 
world that have proven to be satisfactory in climaies that are of a Calli- 
fornia nature, and if you don't see your favorite tree listed, perhaps we 
are propagating it, or upon request we can get one for you. 
As there's a spot for every tree and a tree for every spot, let us show 
you the tree for your need; for trees are the backbone of any landscape, 
and a misplaced tree can weaken the best landscape. 
Last but not least, a dollar tree planted in a ten dollar hole will out- 
grow a ten dollar tree planted in a dollar hole. So give your tree a good 
start. 
Yours for a better planted California
