Popular EVERGREEN TREES

as lawn specimens or for the lovely flowers of some kinds. The year around foliage 
is excellent to conceal objectionable views from the house and garden. In this list 
you will find trees for any possible purpose. All are hardy in Southern California 
except at higher altitudes. Specimen sizes available at nursery.
