MISSION OLIVE 
Olea europea, Manzanillo variety. The 
ornamental value of Olives has been 
recognized a long time but not prac- 
ticed as much as it should. The old 
gnarled, picturesque grey trunks and 
wide spreading masses of greyish green 
foliage are a prize in themselves. Even 
if we don’t grow them for the fruits 
an olive grove with trees 25 feet apart 
in even rows is attractive beyond de- 
scription. Olives almost thrive on neg- 
lect once they are established. Hardy. 
Evergreen Trees are Desirable 
Specimens for Year Around 
Beauty—Many types available.
