CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 
The coniferous evergreens all have either needle-like or scale-like leaves, and most all 
have cones for fruits, except Junipers and Yews which bear berries. All forms and 
shapes are available from low spreading Junipers, formal little Arborvitaes, through 
medium sized shrubs to very large trees. They are a hardy lot, thriving from the 
mountains through the warm valleys to the sea coast. 
Available in containers: Gal. $1.50 up 
Balled and Burlapped and 5-Gal.: $3.75 up, according to size and variety 
STATELY CEDARS 
Cedrus atlantica glauca (Blue Mt. Atlas Cedar). Stiff branches held somewhat upright 
until trees are mature; well clothed with strikingly beautiful blue-green needles. 
Cedrus deodara, Indian Cedar. Widely planted in California for its magnificent shape 
and light green foliage. Many are used as living Christmas Trees, for avenue planting 
and specimens where sufficient room is available. 
Cedrus compacta. Compact growing type of Deodar. 
CALIFORNIA INCENSE CEDAR 
See Natives, page 22 
Librocedrus decurrens. This native of the Pacific Coast is of vigorous growth with 
foliage similar to Arborvitae. Since it retains its pyramidal form in maturity it is 
especially suited as an accent plant. 
LAWSON CYPRESS 
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana allumi. Dense growing blue form. Suitable for accents in 
the foundation planting. 
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana eliwoodi. Slow and dense growing, this is one of the finest 
evergreen shrubs available. It is always neat in appearance and the plumy, soft blue- 
green foliage is attractive the year around. 
CYPRESS 
Cupressus arizonica, Arizona Cypress. Narrow pyramidal tree with 
blue green foliage. Makes a fine windbreak in the warmer sections 
or used as a specimen. 
Cupressus Forbesi, Forbes Cypress. The new substitute for Monterey 
Cypress for hedge planting. Introduced because of its resistance 
or immunity to the fatal cypress fungus. It is identical to the 
Monterey Cypress in growth and appearance. Available in flats for 
hedge planting. 
Cupressus nidiformis, Birdsnest Cypress. The low spreading habit 
gave this unusual cypress its very apt name. Very charming in 
appearance. 
Cupressus sempervirens, Italian Cypress. Tall slender spires of deep 
green invaluable as accents in planting. Useful along private drive- 
ways. Narrow compact type grown from cuttings only.
