Descriptive illustrated catalog of dependable fruit and ornamental trees : roses and palms, vines and shrubs adapted to prevailing conditions of soil and climate on the West Coast together with planting and cultural notes . descriptiveillus1926fanc Year: 1926 SPIRAEA—BRIDAL WREATH Shrubs of medium size and easy culture and free flowering THE EVERGREEN TREES In her exotic vegetation, both ornamental and economic, California is a striking example of the emigrant in plant life. Xo other state has assimilated a greater number of exotic shrubs and trees, nor afforded them a better environment in which to luxuriate and develop. Naturally enough, owing to the warm and sunshiny days of our long summer season, the evergreen kinds are dominant in our ornamental planting, park and garden making. Indeed, the Acacias and Eucalypti of Australia, the cedars and pines of foreign lands are as much a feature of our cultivated landscapes as the native trees of our mountains and valleys. This wide range in our tree and shrub SYRINGA LILAC Flowers purple to white, fragrant, blooms early in the spring culture affords an almost limitless assortment to select from, indeed a plethora that often leads to confusion on the part of intending planters. Appreciating this, we have for years grown only those sorts which afford the widest satisfaction and in large measure meet prevailing growing conditions and render the best service on grounds of beauty and comfort. The term 'evergreen' signifies those trees and shrubs which do not shed all their foliage at one time, thereby remaining green, although the old leaves do shed from time to time as they become overshadowed or crowded out by the younger foliage.
