SEQUOIA .. . Redwoods 
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. $1.50. 
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; 
lg. ce. $1.50. 
TAXUS... Yew 
TAXUS BACCATA ERECTA. C179 (Erect Yew.)

Irish Yew, but is a more rapid grower with 
smaller leaves. Does not produce berries. 
BB 2-3’ $6.00; 3-4’ $8.50. 
TAXUS CUSPIDATA. C173 (Spreading Yew.) 
The Spreading Yew usually grows more wide 
than tall, branching out from the bottom with 
several stems, developing into bush form. The 
development of this tree is also governed 
considerably by the training which it receives. 
By keeping the side branches pruned off for 
a time, the growth is naturally more upright, 
while by pruning the top branches, the growth 
can be made much lower to the ground. BB 
18-24” $5.00; 2-3’ $7.50. 
TAXUS CUSPIDATA BROWNI. C175 (Brown's 
Yew.) The normal development is a graceful 
vase shape, somewhat more upright than the 
regular Spreading Japanese Yew. It has a 
waxy, dark green foliage, grows rapidly, and 
develops a graceful and attractive habit. BB
