Bougainvillea. 



Crimson Lake. Introduced through the Bureau of Plant Indus- 

 try, of the Department of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C. It 

 originally having been received from the Department of Science 

 and Agriculture, Georgetown, Demerara, British Guiana, without 

 specific or varietal name, it simply being labeled " Crimson Bou- 

 gainvillea." Some one, for distinction, called it " Crimson Lake," 

 which name is, at least, descriptive of its rich, beautiful coloring. 



The flowers, in shape and size, are not unlike all other Bougain- 

 villeas, perhaps a trifle larger, but in coloring none will compare 

 with it in richness and brilliancy. On first opening the flowers 

 are of a brilliant crimson-lake, retaining this color for three or 

 four weeks or more, after which they gradually pass to a crimson- 

 carmine. 



In semi-tropical climates, such as Southern California and 

 Florida, the Bougainvilleas make gorgeous climbers for out-door 

 planting, while in the North they are useful subjects as pot-plants 

 for the conservatory or greenhouse. For this purpose they may 

 be trained over a trellis of any shape, or they may be kept cut 

 back or pinched so as to form shapely, bushy plants. 



3-inch pots, 50 cts. each; 15.00 per doz.; $40.00 per 100.

 both strong growing, hardy sorts, which we will be prepared to 

 supply in strong plants as noted below.
