Honeysuckles 
Lonicera halliana (Hall's Japanese Honeysuckle). There are few 
evergreen vines that will give you the quick heavy growth as will 
this variety of honeysuckle which adapts itself to a great assort¬ 
ment of conditions and uses. The flowers of this type are borne 
in clusters and are noted for their delicate fragrance. When the 
flowers first open they are pure white but as they grow more 
mature they take on a yellowish tint. This vine may be used to 
wonderful advantage as a ground cover for steep banks or slopes, 
in which use a single plant will cover a very large area. It 
responds very well to being trained upon heavy wires, trellises, 
pergolas or fences. The foliage growth will become very dense, 
thereby forming an absolute screen in case it is to be used for 
that purpose. It is hardy in all respects and has no limit as far 
as age is concerned. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Lonicera hildebrandiana (Giant Burmese Honeysuckle). The 
flowers of this Honeysuckle are unbelievable in size. Sometimes 
7 inches long, these beautiful waxy orange flowers are also very 
fragrant. The foliage is very luxuriant and makes a good screen. 
Esp. $4.00; gal. 85c; 5-gal. $2.00. 
Lonicera sempervirens (Coral Honeysuckle). This is a particularly 
ornamental type of Honeysuckle because of its large tubular flow¬ 
ers of an orange scarlet coloring. This vine is very free blooming 
in habit, grows very rapidly and ought to make one of the most 
satisfactory evergreen vines that one could plant. It is not as 
vigorous a grower as the Hall's Honeysuckle, but because of its 
flowering ability can be used to excellent advantage where a 
purely ornamental vine is wanted. Gal. 35c. 
Chilean Jasmine 
Mandevillea suaveolens (Chilean Jasmine). Although this is not 
correctly of the Jasmine family, it is frequently associated with 
them because the large pure white flowers, about 2 inches across 
resemble the Jasmine both in shape and in fragrance. This will 
be a beautiful vine to use where a comparatively light growth 
is desired and although it sheds its leaves in winter time it will 
make an exceptionally satisfactory vine for pergola or trellis use. 
Gal. 35c. 
Star Jasmine 
Rhynchospermum jasminoides (Star Jasmine). We have yet to 
meet anyone who, upon observing this beautiful vine in full flow¬ 
ers, does not go into ecstacies over the marvelous fragrance from 
the bloom. All things taken into consideration, this is one of the 
most highly satisfactory vines that we have to offer. It is not a 
true Jasmine, but the pure white, star-shaped flowers, with each 
petal having a ragged tip, resembles a Jasmine flower very 
closely, but their fragrance is far superior. The foliage is ever¬ 
green and of a very rich, glossy, deep green color. The vine 
grows as a natural climber and lends itself perfectly to be trained 
upon wires or light trelliswork. It will thrive in either a sunny 
or shady location and seems to flower equally well in either. The 
delicious fragrance of the flowers is very noticeable during the 
day time and at night a good sized plant will perfume the entire 
neighborhood. We make this statement without exaggeration. You 
should have at least one of these in your garden and as it adapts 
itself to almost any situation, we know you can find room for at 
least one. Gal. 70c; 5-gal. $2.50; tub, $10.00. 
Senecio 
Senecio confusus. This beautiful little vine comes as a rather 
pleasant surprise because we seldom expect a flower of the 
daisy type to be growing upon a vine. The blossoms which 
appear during the summer are borne in very large clusters and 
are of a brilliant light orange coloring and the leaves which are 
plentiful and bright green, make an excellent background for the 
blossoms. This is a rather light growing vine that will require 
little training. Gal. 40c. 
Sit lan n m 
Solanum jasminoides (Potato Vine). There are many times 
when we want a vine that we can plant in a location and then 
practically forget about it as far as care is concerned. This 
variety of Solanum answers that purpose beautifully. The flower¬ 
ing period of this type covers practically the entire summer and 
the blossoms are borne in small clusters which are a pure white 
in rolor with tiny yellow centers. Individual blossoms are about 
a half inch across. This vine will twine itself into a wire fence 
with practically no help and is so drought resistant that it will 
thrive where other vines would die from lack of care. Gal. 40c. 
Mexican Syringa 
Solanum seaforthianum. This is a comparatively small growing 
vine which produces flowers with the much sought for blue, a 
color which is always desirable in the garden. The individual 
flowers are about 1 inch across, light blue in color, star-shaped, 
with a tiny yellow center. The foliage background for the flowers 
is very good, and this vine is a very hardy sun lover. Gal. 40c. 
Cape Honeysuckle 
Tecomaria capensis (Cape Honeysuckle). This is an evergreen 
vine that deserves your attention because it is very hardy, de¬ 
velops beautiful, glossy, dark green foliage in large masses and 
produces large quantities of brilliant vermillion trumpet-snaped 
flowers borne in clusters, starting in early fall and continuing well 
into winter. This vine will require some training to get it started, 
but if it is once established on its support will require little or 
no attention. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Gibson Clock fine 
Thunbergia Gibsoni. This vine always attracts a great deal of 
attention beccuse of the brilliant masses of flowers, bright orange 
in color which appear on the plant, throughout almost the entire 
year. The individual flowers are of a stubby tubular form with 
the top portion of the flaring petals turned back from the throat 
of the flower. The foliage forms an exceptionally heavy mass 
and is of a very bright green color. This vine climbs very easily 
on a light wire fence or similar object. Gal. 40c. 
Sky Flower 
Thunbergia grandiflora. This is a very fast growing vine with 
luxuriant foliage and one which you can depend upon for making 
a quick covering. The flowers which are a very large trumpet- 
shape, sometimes 3 inches across, are bright, sky blue in color, 
which give the plant its common name. There is no set time of 
year that the flowers may appear on this vine, but they are very 
apt to show in profusion ranging from September to May, through 
the winter. Gal. 70c; 5-gal. $2.00. 
U isteria 
Wisteria. This is a vine that will take a few years to really 
develop, but once it is old enough to bloom, will keep on increas¬ 
ing in beauty as it grows older. We have several varieties of 
this wonderful deciduous vine, varying in color from white to 
purple, the bloom clusters ranging from 6 inches to 2 feet in 
length, depending upon the variety. Because this is a very large 
growing vine, which develops heavy, woody stems, we advise it 
be used on pergolas or other structures, that are heavily built. 
This vine flowers early in the spring before new leaves appear, 
the bloom clusters hanging heavily downward from the stems 
throughout the entire plant. The famous Wisteria at Sierra Madre 
will give you an idea of the beauty this vine will develop. Bare 
root, $1.00; 5-gal. $1.85.
