Bignonia Tweediana. This large flowered yellow variety 
not only creeps rapidly but will cling without support to 
rough brick, concrete or plaster. Grows more sparse than 
other varieties and will form unique and beautiful tracery 
effects. Sun. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. contain- 
ers, 40c. 
Bignonia venusta. Bears flowers slightly smaller and nar- 
rower than other varieties but what they lack in size they 
make up in quantity and quality for the bright orange blos- 
soms are borne in great abundance. The light green foliage, 
artistically rolled and undulated spreads rapidly to cover a 
large space. Sun. Hardy except in very cold locations. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.70; gal. containers, 50c. 
Bignonia violacea. Through spring and early summer the 
delicately shaded violet blue flowers appear in heavy masses 
against glossy dark green foliage. Grows less rapidly than 
other varieties and may be confined in a smaller space. Sun 
or part shade. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. con- 
tainer, 50c. For color illustration see page 32. 
BOUGAINVILLEAS 
Bougainvillea Crimson Lake. In summer, spring and fall, 
and winter, too, if the nights are not too cool this rampant 
vine provides spectacular quantities of rich scarlet blooms. 
An excellent vine to ornament sunny pergolas, walls or 
banks. Should not be planted in extremely cold areas. 5-gal. 
containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 50c. 
Bougainvillea praetorius. The most popular of the newer 
varieties because of its extremely rapid growth and the 
lovely and unusual shadings in its bronzy orange flowers. 
May not survive heavy frosts. Sun. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; 
gal. containers, 50c. 
ORANGE TRUMPET 
Campsidium valdivianum. Extremely rapid growing vine 
with highly polished leaves and 1% in. long orange trumpet- 
shaped flowers. Hardy and easily grown. Sun or part shade. 
5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. containers, 60c. 
_Celastrus scandens. Bittersweet. Rapid growing deciduous 
vine with handsome foliage and scarlet and orange fruits. 
Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 50c. 
EVERGREEN GRAPES 
Cissus capensis. Either in hot sun or part shade this vine 
spreads its bronzy green characteristic grape leaves rapidly 
and holds them through the year. Draped over walls or per- 
golas the striking foliage and thin bunches of enormous 
black fruit are highly attractive. The fruit makes delicious 
jelly but, as Mother used to say, is “sour enough to make a 
pig squeal.’ Hardy except in very cold spots. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $1.70; gal. containers, 50c. 
Cissus hypoglauca. This variety, too, thrives in full sun 
or part shade. Its highly polished leaves, furry brown leaf 
stems and rapid growth make it, in our opinion, the most 
desirable of all Evergreen Grapes. Half hardy. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $1.70; gal. containers, 50c. 
COLORFUL CLEMATIS 
Clematis Jackmani. Single, royal purple flowers to 3-in. 
across and borne heavily through summer. Their rich deep 
color and lasting qualities are amazing. While we have seen 
very successful plants here they really are better in colder 
climates. Sun or light shade. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. 
containers, $1.00. 
Clematis montana rubens. Grows exceptionally fast to 20 
ft. The large single blooms shade from light to deep rose- 
pink and are borne in astonishing quantities in spring. 
Hardy. Sun or part shade. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. con- 
tainers, 50c. 
PURPLE DISTICHTIS 
Distictis lactiflora. (Cinerea). A brilliant evergreen vine 
from South America that is a valuable addition to our Cali- 
fornia gardens. Through the greater part of the year huge 
3 to 4-in. lavender and purple flowers, tubular in form, are 
borne conspicuously in big heavy clusters. And they are 
delightfully fragrant, too. Hardy except in very cold areas. 
Sun or light shade. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. contain- 
ers, /5c. 

RHODODENDRON. See page 26. 
CLINGING FIG VINES 
Ficus pumila minima. For a close flat covering on walls or 
fireplace chimneys this dark green minute leaved beauty 
cannot be equalled. Its aerial rootlets cling tightly to any 
rough surface and the plant presents a rich handsome ap- 
pearance through all seasons. Grows slowly until well estab- 
lished. Sun or shade. Hardy. Gal. containers, 50c. 
Ficus pumila repens. Evergreen vine with small light green 
leaves which has been used for years throughout this end 
of the State to form a close cover on walls of patios and 
buildings. Sun or shade. Hardy. Gal. containers, 40c.
