growing and picturesque as it gets 
older. Leaves small, oval and a deep 
rich green. Makes a dense, round and

ble those of English Holly and are 
somewhat wooly underneath.

headed tree or large shrub for street 
tree planting or as a large hedge. Deep

Tree. Quite different in habit from 
the California Pepper Tree is this 
very neat little tree with dense head 
of deep green foliage, pale yellow 
flowers in late summer at end of 
branches followed by colorful berries. 
EVERGREEN ELM 
Ulmus parvifolia sempervirens. Popu- 
lar small tree with spreading crown 
of small, deep green Elm leaves on 
oe i‘. ee slender drooping branches. Hardy and 
PURPLE ORCHID TREE (Bauhinia) quick growing. 
The value of trees about the home cannot be overestimated. 
Their height and masses of foliage help give a feeling of separation of the 
house from its neighbors. The shade and ornamental value of each tree gives 
charm and enjoyment to the outdoor area—a place of comfort and relaxation. 
Choose your trees wisely but be sure to use them in your planting scheme, for 
flowers, fruit, shade.
