Ellwood Cypress 
LAWSON CYPRESS 
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ellwoodi. Slow and 
dense growing, this is one of the finest ever- 
green shrubs available. It is always neat in 
appearance and the plumy, soft blue-green 
foliage is attractive the year around. 
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana nidiformis (Birds- 
nest Cypress). The low spreading habit gave 
this unusual cypress its very apt name. Very 
charming in appearance. Just right for fore- 
ground planting. 
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana stewarti (Golden 
Lawson Cypress). A dense, symmetrical, py- 
ramidal tree that keeps its golden-hued color 
well in all seasons. Covered with lustrous, 
rich foliage right down to the ground. 
Chamaecyparis obtusa nana (Dwarf Hinoki 
Cypress). Low, globular plant with dense 
overlapping fronds of soft, deep green. Very 
slow growing and one of the best shrubs for 
an accent in foundation or garden. 
CYPRESS 
Cupressus arizonica (Arizona Cypress). Nar- 
row pyramidal tree with blue green foliage. 
Makes a fine windbreak in the warmer sec- 
tions or used as a specimen. 
Cupressus Forbesi (Forbes Cypress). The new 
substitute for Monterey Cypress for hedge 
planting. Introduced because of its resistance 
or immunity to the fatal cypress fungus. It is 
identical to the Monterey Cypress in growth 
and appearance. Available in flats for hedge 
planting. 
Cupressus macrocarpa (Monterey Cypress). 
Most popular cypress in California and gen- 
erously used as a hedge or windbreak. It be- 
comes very picturesque when wind blows its 
long-reaching branches clothed in deep green 
foliage. Stands shearing very well. 
Cupressus sempervirens (Italian Cypress) . 
Tall slender spires of deep green invaluable 
as accents in planting. Useful along private 
driveways. Narrow compact type grown from 
cuttings only. 
CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 
The coniferous evergreens all have either needle-like or scale-like leaves, and most all have 
cones for fruits, except Junipers and Yews which bear berries. All forms and shapes are 
available from low spreading Junipers, formal little Arborvitaes, through medium sized 
shrubs to very large trees. They are a hardy lot, thriving from the mountains through the 
warm valleys to the sea coast. 
Available in containers: Gal. $1.25 up :

type of Deodar. 
THE VERSATILE JUNIPERS

Chinese Juniper.

as an accent plant.
