magnificent when covered with a mass of spikes, 6 inches long, of white, » 
fragrant blossoms in the spring. Dark green, glossy foliage, large leaves. A 
hardy strong growing plant which stands shearing well. A beautiful shrub 
especially when planted with other evergreens.

Laurocerasus officinalis (English Laurel] 
This well known plant is a native of southeastern Europe to northern Persia. 
It is one of the most popular hardy evergreens in Europe. It has broad, 
glossy leaves of charming freshness and is a strong vigorous and rapid 
grower. Fine for hedging, and gives quick results and satisfaction in either 
hedges or planted singly. Large growing shrub.

Laurocerasus zabeliana (Zabel Laurel) 
Grows 6 to 8 feet, wide spreading and is covered in the spring of the 
year with large spikes of white, scented flowers. Foliage rich, glossy green 
little affected by cold or dry weather. Hardier than English or Portugal 
Laurel. Being hardy, semi-dwarf and a good bloomer it meets a need in 
landscaping and will unquestionably be used a great deal as it becomes 
better known. Rare. 
Libocedrus decurrens (Western Incense Cedar) 
A shapely pyramid in form, with fine, fan-like foliage, that is dense, and a 
. beautiful glossy-green. The foliage is also delightfully fragrant. The bark is 
bright cinnamon-red. Incense Cedar is native Oregon to California and 
western Nevada. Flourishes on the cold eastern slopes of the Cascade moun- 
tains and in dry, rocky soil. A tall growing tree. As an ornamental, they are 
grown chiefly for their handsome, fragrant evergreen foliage and charming 
habit of growth. The perfect symmetry of growth from the ground to tip of 
the tree is a characteristic that places decurrens almost in a class by itself, 
the only other conifer that is comparable being Sequoia gigantea.
