JUNIPERUS. 
CHINENSIS PFITZERIANA. Pfitzer’s Juniper. The 
best low-spreading conifer. 
JAPONICA SYLVESTRIS. Japanese Juniper. Most 
satisfactory and best adapted pyramidal- 
shaped conifer for foundation planting in the 
Lower South. 
VIRGINIANA. Eastern Redcedar. A native Cedar, 
pyramidal or columnar in habit when young, 
developing later into a dense, flat-topped, 
spreading tree. It has rich green foliage and 
light blue berries. It thrives in a variety of soils 
and makes a good specimen tree. Good for 
seaside plantings. 
LIRKODENDRON TULIPIFERA. Tuliptree. Tall, well- 
formed, deciduous tree with good foliage, turn- 
ing yellow in fall. Tulip-like flowers of yellowish 
orange in spring. Grown chiefly as a shade or 
woodland tree. 
MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORA. Southern Magnolia. 
Grandest broad-leaved evergreen tree of the 
South. Leaves large, stiff, bright shiny green 
above, bronze beneath. Beautiful waxy white, 
delightfully fragrant blooms 8 to 10 inches across 
in late spring and early summer, followed by at- 
tractive large seed pods opening in the autumn 
to disgorge their bright red seeds. This is one of 
our finest trees for specimen and accent use. 
MALUS. Flowering Crabapple. A deciduous, bushy, 
low-branching flowering tree with reddish buds 
opening to form soft pink, sweet-scented blossoms 
in spring. 
MYRICA CERIFERA. Southern Waxmyrtle. See

PARKINSONIA ACULEATA. Jerusalemthorn. A 
wide-spreading, picturesque tree to 20 feet. 
Narrow leaves and green thorny stems, contrast- 
ing in the late spring with very light yellow flowers. 
Stands heat and drought and some frost.

native Pine for landscape use. Difficult to trans-

deciduous tree bearing masses of fragrant 
pink flowers in February.

QUERCUS. 
NIGRA. Water Oak. Will thrive farther north 
than the Live Oak and is much used for a shade 
tree. It is almost evergreen in the Far South, 
less so farther north. It is generally shorter 
lived and less disease resistant than the Live 
Oak. 
SUBER. Cork Oak. Produces the cork of com- 
merce. It thrives well in the South in a variety 
of soils. It is slow growing but ornamental 
and interesting. 
VIRGINIANA. Live Oak. The grandest of all 
shade trees. Its picturesque habit of branch- 
ing and growth, its fine glossy evergreen foli- 
age, its long life, freedom from disease and 
ultimate great size combine to make it the 
most admired and popular of all southern 
shade trees. While the Live Oak is generally 
considered to be slow growing, if given liberal 
amounts of fertilizer, a young Live Oak tree 
will grow as fast or faster than any other ever- 
green shade tree in this latitude. Oaks require 
rather severe pruning for successful trans- 
planting. 
ULMUS PUMILA. Siberian Elm. A shapely, de- 
ciduous shade or street tree, graceful, very rapid 
in growth, tolerant of soil and heat, disease 
resistant.
