CLIMBERS 
EVERGREEN WISTERIA (Lonchocarpus sp.). This is a remarkable vine which instead 
of blooming in the spring has an extremely heavy crop of deep purple colored flowers 
in late fall. In very mild climates it probably continues to bloom through the winter 
but here it is finally stopped by severe frost before all the buds have opened. It seems 
to be plenty hardy enough for our district. Freezing often causes it to drop a good 
proportion of its leaves although it is probably perfectly evergreen in Southern Cali¬ 
fornia. Gal. can I-IV 2 ft. $1.50. 
SNAIL VINE (Fhaseolus caracalla). An old favorite which is scarce. The very large 
pea shaped flowers are coiled in a peculiar manner which accounts for the common 
name. They are cream color marked with purple and very fragrant. Pot grown 2*4-3 
ft. $1.00, 2-2*4 ft. 75c. 
WISTERIAS 
We believe we grow the most complete collection in this country. Varieties were very 
completely described in “Garden Aristocrats 1936” (copy will be sent on request). All 
our stock is grafted. Sizes available for each variety are indicated by letters. “From 
beds” indicates bench grafts made last spring; 1 year, 2 year, etc., shows how long these 
have been grown in the nursery rows.

W. venusta violacea. This is the purple counter¬ 
part of the SILKY WHITE WISTERIA. It is 
a tremendous bloomer and has the general ap¬ 
pearance of W. sinensis but the flower clusters 
are even more massed. Blooms young and free¬ 
ly. We believe this is the first time this has 
been offered in this country. D-E

STANDARD WISTERIAS 
These are grown like Standard Roses but with a taller stem, about 4*4 to 5 ft. This 
method prevents the growth of long climbing shoots and makes them bloom tremendous¬ 
ly as illustration shows. Nothing is more beautiful in a garden. The “heavy” stock 
consists of strong plants several years old. 
The “regular” stock has strong stems and well developed heads. 
The “light” stock is simply a start in the right direction but with stem of full height 
and head commencing to form.

SPECIMEN PLANTS. We have a large number of beautiful specimen plants in vari¬ 
ous lines, some in containers, others in open ground. As it is not practical to include 
them here, prices on such material will be quoted upon request, but the best way is to 
come to the nursery and see them if at all possible. 
OTHER PLANTS. If you are looking for anything in woody plants and do not find 
it in this Booklet, we suggest that you inquire of us as we have many things in rather 
limited quantities, some of them very scarce, which are not mentioned herein.
