BOUGAINVILLEAS 
EVANS & REEVES NURSERIES specialize in Bougain¬ 
villeas and we are constantly searching for new types of 
these exotic climbers for Southern California gardens. At 
this time we have several new varieties which will be re¬ 
leased at a later date. In this climate, no plant from semi¬ 
tropic countries is more at home, more healthy and free of 
disease and pests, and more striking and showy than is the 
Bougainvillea. The vivid and glowing riot of color is one 
of the first things that catches the eye of people from the 
East and we believe that every garden in Southern Cali¬ 
fornia should have at least one or more Bougainvilleas. 
They should be planted in hot places and when the plants 
attain a good size, they should not be given too much 
water, as they will bloom much better. In fact, large 
specimens will go through the entire summer without 
much water.
