CAMPHOR TREE 
ACACIA 
Acacia Baileyana. Fern Leafed Acacia. The 
best of the Acacias for general planting. Plumy 
bluish leaves, feathery in texture, completely 
clothing the dense round head. In late winter 
or spring it is yellow with fluffy yellow flow- 
ers. Does not cause lifting of the soil, heaving 
of pavements, ele 
Acacia floribunda. A fast growing medium 
size tree making a rounded head of light 
green foliage. Leaves long and narrow. The 
creamy puffs of flowers are produced over a 
long period during summer. Recommended 
for quick effects. 
Acacia latifolia. Want to hide an objectionable 
view, make a wind break or just have a quick 
background of pleasing green? This will do 
the trick! Low growing, with long broad leaves 
it gets even denser if pruned or sheared. Bright 
yellow fluffy flowers appear in spring. 
Acacia melanoxylon, Black Acacia. Popular 
street tree. Makes a close tight crown of dark 
green leaves. A medium to large tree. 18°. 
CAMPHOR 
Camphora officinalis. The standard street tree 
in many communities, Camphor makes a uni- 
form pleasing growth of light green leaves. 
The main branches make picturesque pat- 
terns, usually grey, but become black when 
wet by rains, thus increasing the effect. Cam- 
phor is distilled from the wood of this tree. 
CAROB 
Ceratonia siliqua. Extremely hardy and suit- 
able for street planting, this low round headed 
tree is one of the best. It has dark grey-green 
rounded leaves and inconspicuous flowers. 
LOQUAT 
“Eriobotrya japonica, Loquat. Although essen- 
tially a fruit tree prized for its fruits in early 
summer, this round headed tree is often de- 
sirable in the background planting. Long 
leathery leaves, woolly beneath. 
LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY TREE 
Crinodendron dependens. In appearance much 
like an evergreen oak, this moderately high 
tree with its spreading growth holds great 
promise as a lawn specimen. In June and July 
it is covered with hundreds of small, white, 
bell shaped flowers followed by cream and 
flame colored seed pods. Needs trimming and 
thrives on moisture. 
EVERGREEN TREES 
The trees in this group are widely planted in California for street and shade 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 California at higher altitudes. 
Most varieties available in specimen sizes. Evergreen trees may vary in price from 
$1.50 up, depending on variety and size selected. Larger sizes are priced from $3.75 up.

with large deep green shiny leaves and im- 
mense white waterlily-like flowers. Slow grow- 
ing to a height of about 60 feet. Always clean 
and neat. Give abundant water. 
; | OLIVE 
Mission and Manzanillo varieties. The orna- 
mental value of Olives has been recognized 
for 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. Hardy. 
RED BAY TREE 
Persea Borbonia. Actually an avocado tree 
often planted for ornament in warm areas, 
growing to a height of 30 to 40 ft. The long, 
tapering leaves are very attractive. 
STURDY OAKS 
Quercus agrifolia, California Live Oak. One 
of the finest trees for the home grounds or 
street planting, the native Oak, with its pic- 
turesque habit and evergreen foliage is easy 
to grow if given care and careful watering.

variety for local planting. Grows faster than 
other varieties and has more attractive foliage. 
Resistant to the ills that so often plague other 
oak varieties.

A most useful tree for patios where a low and 
spreading tree lends itself to advantage. No 
worry about roots to upheave your flagstone 
for it is deep rooted. Beautiful in bloom and 
strikingly attractive each fall when laden with 
scarlet berries.

idal narrow crown and lacy fern-like leaves.
