Ampelopsis Veitchii Commonly known throughout California and other 
sections, where planted, as the “Boston Ivy/’ and is 
no doubt more highly appreciated than any other variety of climbing vines. 
In the coast sections as well as the interior hot sections of California, this 
variety can often be found, covering large brick schools and other buildings, 
clinging to the brick or stone work without any support. 
The vine is a very rapid grower, having a foliage of a beautiful glossy 
green color, changing to a golden coppery color in autumn and becoming 
heavily laden with deep blue colored berries. We certainly do not hesitate 
in highly recommending this variety as an ornamental climber.

Honeysuckle One ^e strongest, most widely known and highly recom¬ 
mended for California planting of the trailing plants. The 
(Lonicera) foliage is of a dark green color, very glossy, and remains so 
throughout the entire season. Ihe tiowers are small but very fragrant, and 
abundant, and present a very attractive appearance. 
Honeysuckles are largely used for the covering of pergolas, porches and 
other places where quick growing, strong trailing plants are desired. We can 
furnish them in white, yellow or red colors. „ ,

Ivy English variety is extensively grown throughout Europe, Asia and 
Africa, and is a strong, healthy vine, covered with a beautiful 
(Hedera) dark green leathery foliage, of glossy appearance, and is con¬ 
sidered extremely valuable for the covering of stumps, fences or fallen logs, 
and it is sometimes found in California growing on palm trees, as well as 
many other trees, covering them quite extensively to a height of fifty feet.

Wistaria one t ? ie most desirable and highly appreciated of climbing 
vines. It is a very rapid, strong grower, and is particularly 
valued for the covering of pergolas, porches, etc. In the spring of the year 
it is seen heavily laden with beautiful pea-shaped flowers hanging in long 
bunches which are particularly noticeable on account of the absence of foliage 
at the blooming period. 
In beauty as well as fragrance it easily surpasses any other of the climbing 
vines. We can furnish this beautiful climber in purple, white and double 
purple varieties. ~ ,

PALMS 
The palm, the most highly ornamental of evergreen plant life, is particu¬ 
larly adapted to California owing to the semi-tropical climate. All varieties 
thrive well and for their tropical appearance, make our gardens attractive to 
Eastern visitors. After once established, their culture is very easy and no 
garden is complete without a few of the different varieties. 
Chamaerops Excelsa One t * ie hardiest of the Fan Palms. Foliage 
dark green; the segments of the fan-shaped leaves 
(Japanese Fan Palm) deeply cut, the edges covered with tooth-like 
. spines. Grows from 15 to 20 feet high; very desir¬ 
able for sidewalk decoration.

Phoenix Canariensis The handsomest and hardiest species of the date 
palm family. Being a rapid grower, it soon de- 
(The Canary Island Date) velops into beautiful specimens, with pinnate, dark 
green leaves, from 6 to 21 feet long, the divisions linear, lance-shaped, very 
much pointed. It is fully as hardy as the native Fan Palm and differing so 
widely from that variety in its habit of growth, color, and style of foliage, a 
finer contrast cannot readily be imagined when the two are planted, either 
opposite or alternately in rows.
