PURPLE ORCHID TREE, BAUHINIA 
Evergreen Ash 
Fraxinus uhdei. The Ash is well known as an ornamental tree. Here is 
a new variety of this old favorite which holds its foliage so well in the 
usual mild California winters that it could be called an evergreen. Yet 
it has the quick growing habit of a deciduous tree. Will reach 50 feet. 
Foliage is dark green and shiny. Hardy. 5-gal. $3.50. 
Jacaranda 
Jacaranda mimosacfolia. Showy flowering tree, attractive in yune with 
its lavender-blue flowers. Large trees make an impressive sight. The 
flowers are tubular and in good size clusters; the foliage light green 
and fern-like. 5-gal. $3.50. 
Southern Magnolia 
Magnolia grandiflora. Beautiful compact tree with large deep green 
shiny leaves and immense white waterlily-like flowers. Slow growing 
to a height of about 60 feet. Always clean and neat. Give abundant 
water. 5-gal. $3.50. 
Picturesque Olives 
Oiea europea Manzanillo. The billowy masses of small grey green 
leaves and spreading gnarled branches springing from a massive base 
make the olive one of the most interesting and picturesque of sp2cimen 
trees. Once established they need very little care, thriving equally well 
in all sections. Head is low and rounded; the foliage color blending 
well with any light or deep green. 5-gal. $3.50. 
Brazilian Pepper 
Schinus terebinthifolia. A most useful tree for patios where a low and 
spreading tree lends itself to advantage. No worry about roots to up- 
heave your flagstone for it is deep rooted. Beautiful in bloom and 
strikingly attractive each fall when laden with scarlet berries. 5-gal. 
$3.50. 
Evergreen Elm 
Ulmus sepervirens. One of the best small trees for lawn planting, 
especially for small houses. Makes a small rounded tree with gracefully 
arching branches, held high enough to allow for outdoor furniture 
underneath. Holds its foliage well during mild winters. 5-gal. $3.95. 
Broad-Leaf 
Evergreen Trees 
Acacia 
Acacia baileyana. The best of the Acacias for general planting. Plumy 
bluish leaves, feathery in texture, completely clothing the dense round 
head. In late winter or spring it is yellow with fluffy yellow flowers. 
Does not cause lifting of the soil, heaving of pavements, etc., as does 
the Black Acacia and is never as dark and sombre. 5-gal. $3.25. 
Acacia floribunda. A fast growing medium size tree making a rounded 
head of light green foliage. Leaves long and narrow. The creamy puffs 
of flowers are produced over a long period during summer. Recom- 
mended for quick effects where a tree of this size is desired. 5-gal. 
Doron 
Purple Orchid Tree 
Bauhinia purpurea. For a showy small tree, Bauhinia has many merits. 
The flowers, 2 inches across, have an appearance similar to orchids, 
and are light pink to orchid purple with some admixture of white. At 
flowering time the tree is completely covered with flowers, especially 
if planted in sun. At this time, there are few leaves remaining, but it 
will quickly leaf out again as the flowers fade. 5-gal. $3.25. 
Camphor 
Camphora officinalis. The standard street tree in many communities, 
Camphor makes a uniform pleasing growth of light green leaves. The 
main branches make picturesque patterns, usually grey, but become 
black when wet by rains, thus increasing the effect. Camphor is dis- 
tilled from the wood of this tree. 5-gal. $3.25. 
Carob 
Ceratonia siliqua. Extremely hardy and suitable for street planting, 
this low round headed tree is one of the best. It has dark grey-green 
rounded leaves and inconspicuous flowers. 5-gal. $3.50. 
Eucalyptus 
Eucalyptus citriodora. Lemon Scented Gum. This is one of the most 
picturesque trees used in southern California. The tall gracefully 
branched trunk is chalky white. Each branch rising upward is crowned 
at the tip with tufts of deep green, long narrow leaves. 5-gal. $3.25. 
Eucalyptus ficifolia, Scarlet Flowering Gum. Dwarf, compact tree whose 
rounded head becomes literally ablaze with flaming scarlet flowers in 
summer. A useful specimen tree, the roots do not harm other plants. 
5-gal. $3.25. 
Eucalyptus Globulus Compacta. Commonly called Blue Gum. Very 
bushy and compact. Good for quick growing screen planting. Gallons 
only. 60c¢ each.
