The WEEPER 
Another unique accent tree. Has slender 
trunk with long branches trailing like » 
vines. Will be very scarce until we suc- —~ 
ceed in growing them from seed, cuttings 
or By grafting. 
Foliage dark green, soft -- like smakier 
Coast Redwood leaves--often with bacie of 
light green or light silver. 
Wants more water, better soil, and pert 
shade. May be grown as a dense, weeping 
bush or trailing shrub --by removing: the 
leader tip, which forces profuse spreuts 
from the underground burl. In either tree 
or shrub form a graceful, distinctive 
beauty as a lawn specimen, a tub tree, or 
a potted dwarf. Scarce. 
The SILVER-BACK 
A dark green pyra:nid, almost as wide at tie 
the base as it is tall, that sits on the ' 
ground with trunk hardly visible. Leaves 
are a miniature of the Coast Redwood-- 
with a moderate or heavy silver back, 
flashing silver when the wind blows! 
Young trees show a light silver--it seems . 
to grow more brilliant with age. . 
Likes water, good soil, part shade and 
grows a little taller than the other Midgets 
probably 40 feet or more. 
Fine tor a lawn tree, especially when part- 
ly shaded by larger trees. A very attract- 
ive tub tree or living Christmas Tree--al- 
so excellent for dwarfing. Very scarce-- 
few on hand. > 
FIVE HYBRID REDWOODS 
Botanists have long said that the "Coast All five of these "HYBR seem to be 
Redwood" is a triploid HYBRID, with 3 un- medium-sized trees, probably will grow 
known parents. I have found FIVE of these only to 50 or 100 feet in 50 years -- will 
apparent hybrids, each of which seems to probably NEVER become 300 feet tall, nor 
be a blend of one type of Midget with the cover 2 acres with their roots--as the BIG 
"original" Coast Redwoed, Redwoods do.
