Please note, following descriptions, approximate height 
trees will grow. 
THE SHOWY ACACIAS 
Acacias are particularly suited to our mild climate and, with 
a minimum of moisture, grow rapidly in any light well- 
drained soil. They are prone to be short lived in heavy 
ground. In areas where high winds occur the larger varieties 
should be trimmed previous to the stormy season. As they 
are the first trees to bloom in late winter their wealth of 
fragrant yellow bloom is most welcome. The foliage and 
flowers are valuable for interior decorations. Hardy. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25, except as noted. 
Acacia baileyana. Symmetrical round headed tree to 25 ft. 
clothed with soft blue-green foliage. Bright yellow bloom 
in dense clusters over the entire tree. Fuzzy round blossoms 
are lasting when cut. 
Acacia latifolia. A grand large shrub for screening pur- 
poses. Polished lance-like foliage is dense and attractive. 
Large golden yellow bloom. 10-12 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.25. 
Acacia podalyriaefolia. In our opinion the most lovely of 
all acacias. Silvery white leaves about one inch in diameter 
glisten like finest satin. Small yellow bloom in abundance. 
Spreading habit. 12 ft. 
FOR HEAVY SHADE 
Avocado. Why Avocados are not more widely used as 
shade trees is a mystery to us. No other tree provides more 
dense shade; few good evergreen trees grow as rapidly. They 
are attractive through the whole year and in addition bear 
usable fruit. For shading a 20 to 25 foot area Puebla is 
ideal. For larger space we recommend the Fuerte. Balled, 
each, $6.25. 
ORCHIDS ON TREES 
Bauhinia purpurea. Orchids on trees? Don’t take our word 
for it. Come in at any time during March, April or May and 
see for yourself. The exotic, orchid-like flowers (orchid in 
color, sometimes white) and big butterfly leaves are ‘“‘a thing 
of beauty and a joy forever”. Round headed tree to 12 to 15 
feet. Not particular as to soil but should not be planted in 
areas where heavy freezes are frequent. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.75; 
LEMON EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus citriodora. Grows tall and slender, the white 
barked trunk surmounted with drooping branches, closely 
lined with narrow pendant foliage. Presents a picturesque 
appearance against the sky. Fragrant lemon scented leaves. 
Hardy. 80 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.50. 
ILLYARIE EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus erythrocorys. Those of you who appreciate 
‘color and the unusual, too, will enjoy this slender-leaved 
beauty. Early in summer big red capsules form on the thin 
branches. In mid-summer each swelling capsule lifts its 
tight fitting cap, displaying a mass of golden stamens. Re- 
minds us of a golden-haired youngster—minus freckles— 
with his cap perched precariously on the back of his head. 
Hardy. 15 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.75. 
FLOWERING EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus ficifolia. The favorite variety for quantity and 
richness of bloom. Huge panicles of fuzzy scarlet blossoms 
furnish a startling display through the summer months.

spreading, compact tree to 25 feet. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.50. 

EUCALYPTUS TORQUATA. Small tree with 
striking red bloom. 
PINK FLOWERING EUCALYPTUS 
Eucalyptus sideroxylon. Planted either singly or in 
groups, these slender gray foliaged trees are attractive in all 
seasons. Countless pink blooms in summer add to their orna- 
mental value. 35 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.50. 
Eucalyptus polyanthemos. Its round silvery green leaves 
and graceful spreading branches are admired by everyone.

ern Galitornias In thes inst placesithes leaves) aremiareer, 
brighter and more highly polished and in addition the tree 
grows very rapidly in our warm climate. Only partly ever- 
green here. 25 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.50. 
SILK OAK 
Grevillea robusta. Hardy Queensland tree of slender habit 
that grows rapidly with little water or attention. The dainty 
fern-like foliage is augmented in summer with highly attrac- 
tive racemes of golden orange blossoms. 80 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.50. 
FERN-LIKE JACARANDA 
Jacaranda acutifolia. Because of their graceful, fernlike 
foliage, symmetry of outline and abundant panicles of violet 
blue bloom these trees are becoming increasingly popular. In 
June the trees are just big showy bouquets of scintillating 
blue. 35 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.50.
