*GELSEMIUM sempervirens, CAROLINA JESSAMINE, (7). This evergreen native of the 
Southeastern States has proved to be most useful in California. Foliage is good and the bright 
yellow flowers are very attractive. Pot grown 114-2 ft. 50c. 
*LONICERA tellmanniana, (5). This hybrid Honeysuckle is, we believe, entirely new in this 
country and has the largest flowers of any of the fairly hardy kinds. While they are not as large 
as those of L. hildebranti that doesn’t mean much as the latter is useless except in semi-tropical 
climates while this should stand close to zero. The huge long-tubed flowers are rich yellow, 
tipped bronzy red. Grows very vigorously. A. M. R. H. S. Pot grown 2-3 ft. $1.50, 8-12 in. $1.00. 
PILEOSTEGIA viburnoides, (7). This new evergreen vine has foliage about like English 
Laurel. Thrives best in full shade where so few vines do well. White flowers are borne freely 
in large clusters in late summer. Pot grown 8-12 in. 60c. 
VITIS coignettiae (V. kaempferi), GLORY GRAPEVINE, (5). A deciduous grape grown 
solely for the vivid autumnal tints of its leaves which are “hard to beat”. Pot grown 11-2 ft. 50c. 
Wisterias 
We have specialized in these for over twenty years and grow by far the largest assortment 
in this country. Varieties available this season may be found in Part II but here we will give 
a little information about the three species. 
W. sinensis, the Chinese Wisteria is characterized by large fragrant flowers in compact 
clusters of medium length. They come into bloom very young and all the flowers in each cluster 
open at about the same time before any leaves appear. Also blooms again in midsummer. This 
time the clusters are shorter, come only at the ends of shoots and, in the typical form, are purple 
rather than lavender blue. 
W. floribunda which is better known as W. multijuga or Japanese Wisteria has long slender 
racemes of smaller flowers. Those at top are fully open while the lower ones are only small 
unopened buds. This of course lengthens the blooming period until the leaves are pretty well 
out. Little or no fragrance. May occasionally bloom again in summer but generally does not. 
W. venusta, the Silky Wisteria has short broad clusters of very large flowers on long 
stems. All flowers open at one time and are fragrant. This is known in only two varieties which 
are very fine indeed. Some think they are more beautiful than the sinensis types. 
With above information it is only necessary to give very brief descriptions of the varieties 
which as stated are listed in Part II. 
STANDARD WISTERIAS 
We introduced this beautiful form twelve or thirteen years ago and have rarely been able 
to keep up with demand. Advance orders this season have absorbed our entire stock of young 
plants. Only ones available are beautiful specimens in a good assortment of prices ranging from 
$7.50 to $35.00 each. They may be seen at the nursery or particulars will gladly be given 
by mail. 
Russell Lupins 
This world-famous novelty seems to thrive well in some localities, poorly in others. Where 
they do well nothing of their class is more gorgeous, They differ from other Lupins in the broad 
flat standards and very wide range of beautiful tints, including both ‘“‘self-colored”’ and two- 
‘toned. Plants offered are seedlings from the re-selected strain. Pot grown (24 in. pots) 25c 
each; $2.25 per dozen; $15.00 per 100.
