possible purpose. All are hardy in California except at higher altitudes. Most varieties available 
in specimen sizes.

OLIVE 
Mission and Manzanillo varieties. The orna- 
mental value of Olives has been recognized a 
long time. The old gnarled, picturesque grey 
trunks and wide spreading masses of greyish 
green foliage are a prize in themselves. Even 
if we don’t grow them for the fruits an olive 
grove with trees 25 feet apart in even rows is 
attractive beyond description. Olives almost 
thrive on neglect once they are established
