Mrs. Pheodosia Id. Shepherd's Annual Catalogue. 65 
 B. SIDERAFOLIA—The next Bigonia on the list follows in the wake of 
Bigonia Magnifica; a summer and and fall bloomer, with the most rampant 
growth of all vines; the flowers come out in spikes, buds quite round; flowers 
gloxinia-like, of velvety texture, soft cream color, lined with yellow; exceed- 
ingly beautiful and graceful. 50 cts. each. 
B. TWEEDIANA—A charming variety, with smaller foliage than other 
sorts, which sends out tendrils with tiny feet that attach themselves to any 
support, causing the vine to cling perfectly flat against a surface, like the ivy. 
I have seen the roof of an old house completely covered with this vine, its 
dainty sprays falling over the eaves, the whole a mass of canary yellow 
gloxinia-like flowers, wonderful to behold. 25 to 50 cts. each. 
Bougainvillea. 
Named after the French navigator, De Bougainville. Gorgeous plants, 
comprising some of the most striking climbers in cultivation. In Southern 
California they grow to the greatest perfection; they are shrubby climbers, 
making rapid growth; they bloom nearly every month in the year. Their 
great beauty is in the brilliant bracts which surround the small tubular 
flower; they are of a brilliant magenta rose. The long branches are a perfect 
mass of color, . 
BOUGAINVILLEA GLABRA—One of the most brilliant flowering climb- 
ers in existence, and one that attracts all eyes, and calls iorth more ad- 
miration than any other. The fohage is shining green, the plant always cov- 
ered with brilliant magenta rose bracts, that enclose the dainty flowers. 
Fine for green house, or outside, in Southern California. 35 cts. to $1.00. 
BOUGAINVILLEA SPECTABLIS—Of much more robust habit than 
the above; fohage furzy on under side; the long branches are furzy, and have 
strong thorns; the bracts exceedingly brilliant and very deep color. Small 
plants, 50 cts. No plants ready before April 1d. 
BIGNONIA VALDEVARIA—A fast growing climber, with beautiful shin- 
ing fohage. [t is completely covered with its dainty, light yellow flowers, all 
through the late winter and spring months. At a distance the plant looks as 
if enveloped in a net-work of airy lace. Magnificent when in bloom, but al- 
ways handsome on account of its follage. 25 to 50 ets. each.

Large bell-shaped flowers, which come out pale green and turn light purple.
