ing in quite shady places, where it is often diffi¬ 
cult to grow most flowering vines. 1 -gal. con¬

Beaumontia 
Heralds Trumpet 
BEAUMONTIA GRANDIFLORA. Heralds Trum¬ 
pet. India. Imagine, if you can, Easter Lilies 
climbing a trellis or support to the top of a 
house; imagine a bold, beautiful tropical looking 
vine, clothed with handsome large leaves, and 
covered with clusters of pure white, Easter Lilies. 
That will give you some idea of the magnificence 
of this strong, vigorous climbing shrub. Our 
stock plants are in bloom the greater part of 
the year and are always a glorious sight. The 
flowers are fragrant and are useful as cut decor¬ 
ations. This sturdy climber is not particular about 
location, if reasonably free from hard frosts. 
But for difficulty of obtaining plants this Beau¬ 
montia would now be seen in nearly every gar¬ 
den. Besides its use as a vine it can be trained 
to a stake, and formed into a shapely, columnar 
shrub, where it will freely produce its immense 
white trumpets. Strong, established plants, 1-gal. 
containers $2.00; 5-gal. $3.50 to $5.00.
