Climbing and Trailing Vines 
Ampelopsis 
Very hardy ornamental vines, thriving 
anywhere, but growing best on the sun¬ 
ny side. As they climb by tendrils they will 
adhere to stone, brick or cement work. 
AMPELOPSIS HENRYANA. A handsome creeper 
with leaves five parted, opening bright red, and 
changing to purplish red with silvery markings 
along the veins. Beautiful used in pots, like 
English Ivy, in window boxes, and for training 
upon trellises in partial shade where the color 
of the leaves will be most pronounced. 4-inch 
pots 35c; 1-gal., 4-5 ft., 75c; 5-gal., $1.50. 
AMPELOPSIS HETEROPHYLLA ELEGANS. A 
little vine of many colors, with handsome lobed 
leaves, light green marked with white and rose. 
This charming vine for small trellises, low walls 
and rocks is strikingly beautiful in late summer 
and fall with clusters of glossy berries variously 
colored pale lilac, green and metallic blue. 1-gal. 
containers, 2-3 ft., 75c; 5-gal. $2.00 
AMPELOPSIS QUINQUEFOLIA. Virginia Creep¬ 
er. Luxuriant large leaves which are a most in¬ 
tense scarlet early in the fall. A rapid climber. 
1 -gal. containers, 3 ft., 35c; 5-gal., 6 ft., $1.25. 
AMPELOPSIS SEMPERVIRENS. (Cissus striata) 
Evergreen Ampelopsis. Very handsome vine of 
much more dainty appearance than the deciduous 
kinds. Leaves small, palmate, with five dark 
green leaflets. Adheres by tendrils to walls or 
trellises. 1-gal. containers, 50c. 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHI. Boston Ivy. A beau¬ 
tiful hardy vine clinging closely to wall by means 
of small disk-bearing tendrils. Glossy green 
leaves which color brilliantly in autumn. 1-gal. 
containers, 35e; 5-gal. $1.25. 
Antigonon 
ROSA DE MONTANA 
ANTIGONON LEPTOPUS. Rosa de Montana or 
Queen's Wreath. A beautiful rapid climber for 
warm locations, covering a trellis in one season. 
Has rather large leaves, and is covered in Spring 
and Summer with panicles of exquisite rose-pink 
blossoms. 1-gal. containers, 50c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Dolichos 
AUSTRALIAN PEA VINE 
DOLICHOS LIGNOSUS. A rapid-growing peren¬ 
nial vine with deep green foliage and clusters of 
lilac-pink flowers resembling a miniature Wistaria 
bloom; quickly covers a fence or trellis. 2’/t-inch 
pots 15c; 4-inch pots 25c, 
Bignonia 
The Bignonias are strong and rapid grow¬ 
ing evergreen climbers which will cover a 
considerable space, often growing 50 ft. in 
one season. They bear brilliant showy flow¬ 
ers, among the most conspicuous of all. 
BIGNONIA CHAMBERLAYNI. Somewhat similar 
to the more commonly known B. tweediana, but 
with more handsome glossy foliage, and large 
trumpets of bright yellow. 1-gal. containers, 75c; 
5-gal. $1.50. 
BIGNONIA CHERERE. This is a most desirable 
variety with dark green leaves and trumpet¬ 
shaped flowers about 4 inches long, blood-red 
with yellow at the base. A rapid grower. 1-gal. 
containers, 50c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
BIGNONIA TWEEDIANA. A splendid vine for 
covering high walls and buildings. Has slender 
dark green leaves and bears trumpet-shaped 
flowers, two inches long; canary yellow; clings to 
either wood or stone. 1-gal. containers, 50c; 5- 
gal. $1.50. 
BIGNONIA VENUSTA. Flame Vine. One of the 
most showy vines for Southern California. Has 
bright green, somewhat glossy leaves. Rich 
orange-yellow flowers about three inches long 
and are borne in numerous clusters. Blooms dur¬ 
ing the winter and early spring. 1-gal. containers, 
75c; 5-gal. $2.00. 
BIGNONIA VIOLACEA. One of the most beau¬ 
tiful Bignonias. It has bright, glossy-green leaves 
of large size and large tubular-shaped blossoms 
of a pleasing shade of light lavender blue. The 
flowers are very freely produced, and as the vine 
is of comparatively slow growth it is easily trained 
to any form. It has the added virtue of succeed¬ 
ing in quite shady places, where it is often diffi¬ 
cult to grow most flowering vines. 1-gal. con¬ 
tainers, 50e; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Vines provide the needed finish 
to the garden picture, serving to 
soften sharp angles and lines of 
buildings and making a tracery of 
green and color upon blank spaces. 
They become identified with the 
architecture itself, making it a more 
beautiful and intimate feature of 
the landscape. 
In Southern California, perhaps 
as in no other locality, vines find the 
most diverse uses. Here can be 
grown vines from both temperate 
and tropic climates, vines with 
handsome foliage, and vines with 
masses of brilliant, often fragrant 
blossoms. Many serve to provide 
needed shade in the shortest possi¬ 
ble time; and here the types of arch¬ 
itecture seem to be designed for the 
employment of all types of climb¬ 
ing plants. 
Some of the vines listed here are hardy 
in cold climates, others must be planted in 
the open only where there is little frost, but 
many of both types are fine conservatory 
plants, and find great favor grown in pots 
indoors and in window boxes. 
Wisteria 
Graceful and quick-growing climbers un¬ 
surpassed for wall coverings, piazzas, per¬ 
golas and arbors; flowers borne in long pen¬ 
dulous panicles, varying from white to a 
rich lilac purple and pea-shaped in forma¬ 
tion, which appear in spring before the ad¬ 
vent of foliage. Wisterias make gorgeous 
effects by reason of their profuse and 
abundant flowering characteristics. 
WISTERIA SINENSIS. Chinese Wisteria. The 
old favorite. Flowers large, lavender-blue, com¬ 
ing entirely before the leaves, with often a later 
crop at the ends of the branches. 
WISTERIA SINENSIS ALBA. Fraorant white 
form of above. 
WISTERIA FLORIBUNDA 
Japanese Wisteria 
The flower clusters of the varieties of this 
species are longer and more slender. 
DOUBLE VIOLET. The flowers, in clusters 15 
to 18 inches long look like double deep purple 
violets. The deepest colored of all. 
WHITE. (Multijuga alba). White flowers in 
clusters often over 2 ft long. 
PINK. (Multijuga rosea). Clear pure pink. 
WISTERIA VENUSTA. Purest white flowers in 
short broad clusters. Blooms while very young. 
Price of any of the above Wisterias, strong 
2-year-old vines, $1.50 each. 
Specimens in large containers priced on 
application. 
WEEPING WISTERIAS 
Lovely Wisteria vines grafted on a straight standard six feet 
high. These make a most striking effect in the garden, with their 
drooping stems, falling clear to the ground, or they may be trained 
umbrella shaped in the manner of Tea’s Weeping Mulberry and used 
as an arbor to cover garden seats. As they bloom forth in the Spring 
their long pendant panicles of lovely flowers make a picture of ex¬ 
quisite beauty. Such fine specimens as these are rare indeed, and we 
are proud to be able to offer fine grafted plants, in several varieties.
