EUCALYPTUS TORQUATA. Quantities of 
cerise powder puffs. 
Luxuriant EVERGREEN PEAR 
Pyrus kawakami. Even through the cold- 
est winters this graceful tree maintains its 
formal richly polished appearance. Informal 
and drooping, its long sweeping branches are 
strung with big sparkling lively green leaves 
and in spring are lined with fragrant clusters 
of frosty white bloom. By training the pliant 
branches flat against a wall quite striking 
effects may be obtained. 12-15 ft. 1-gal.,

BRISBANE BOX 
Tristania conferta. Little known here, this 
shaggy-barked Australian tree thrives in our 
warm climate and will eventually be widely 
used. It is a tree to 70 ft. tall of moderate 
spread and rather dense habit. The 6 to 8 
inch long leaves are bright green. We have 
seen it growing in both light and heavy soil 
with practically no attention. Grows rapidly. 
Hardy except in coldest locations. 5-gal., 
$3.50.

CALIFORNIA ALDER 
Alnus rhombifolia. We like everything 
about this native of our California canyons, 
its sturdy gray trunk, stout green limbs and 
particularly the rich finish of its cool dense 
leaves. Develops quickly into a tree of hand- 
some proportions, usually half again as tall as 
wide. Appreciates moisture. 50 ft. 5-gal.,

lovely through the entire year. In summer 
polished shimmering leaves line the graceful 
branches with the silver white bark of trunk 
and limb showing through. In winter the 
glowing branches form a decorative pattern. 
Very effective either planted singly or in 
groups. Grow quickly with plenty of water.

Betula pendula Cutleaf. Weeping White 
Birch. For grace and symmetry of outline 
these trees leave little to be desired. Planted 
in the lawn area, either singly or in groups, 
their upright pyramidal habit, drooping 
branches, shining deeply cut leaves and glow- 
ing white bark combine to make them ‘‘a 
thing of beauty’’ throughout the year. Pro-

COPPER BEECH 
Fagus sylvatica Purple. Forms a shapely 
round-headed tree, of moderately slow growth 
to 30 or 40 feet. The new leaves, heavily 
brushed with copper, turn purple as they age 
and supply a wealth of color until winter. 
5-gal., $12.50. 
HOLLY OAK 
Quercus ilex. Without doubt the most suc- 
cessful Oak for local planting. It not only 
grows more rapidly than other varieties but 
has more attractive and prominent foliage and 
is not susceptible to many of the ills common 
to better known sorts. Hardy. 60 ft. 5-gal., 
SOmON 
BRAZILIAN PEPPER 
Schinus terebinthifolia. A small tree that 
spreads a flattened canopy of branches to 15 
or 20 feet. Polished, divided leaves, small 
white bloom and shining pink berries. The 
tree is greatly prized, by those who know it, 
for its artistic value. A lovely small tree for 
the patio. Hardy. 5-gal., $3.50. 
Graceful EVERGREEN ELM 
Ulmus parvifolia Evergreen. Graceful be- 
yond our feeble powers of description. We 
will simply tell you that here is a tree that 
requires no lengthy sales talk to put across. 
If you haven’t the tree, your neighbor has. 
You'll find him always eager to sing its 
praises. If planted in a section where violent 
winds occur these trees should be well braced 
when young and as they age should be 
thinned out before the windy season. Provide 
a handsome cover for walls when trained flat 
against them. 15-20 ft. Hardy. 5-gal., 
$4.00. 
CALIFORNIA FAN PALM 
Washingftonia filifera. This picturesque na- 
tive of our desert canyons thrives locally, 
forming a heavy and lofty bole surmounted 
by huge round fan-like leaves in interesting 
arrangement. Hardy. 60 ft. 5-gal., $3.75.
