DISTICTIS cinerea. syn. D. lactiflora “‘Vanilla Scented Bignonia’’ 
(bignoniaceae) South America & Mexico. There is no mcre beau- 
tiful flowering vine than this. While it is a good grower, it does not get 
unwieldy or too woody. It blooms during the greater part of the year, 
sometimes the year around; the flowers which occur in clusters are trum- 
pet shaped about two inches across, almost a Clematis purple when they 
open, changing to lavender; delightful vanilla fragrance. Any good soil 
and not too much water. Sun or half shade—at its very best in the coastal 
regions. Not recommended for cold areas. Evergreen. 25°. 
1 gal $1.00; 5 gal. $2.50; Specimens $5.00 up. 
GELSEMIUM sempervirens. ‘“‘Carolina Jasmine’’ (loganiaceae) 
Southern United States. Twining evergreen vine with clusters of 
lovely deep yellow fragrant trumpet shaped flowers in winter and spring. 
Can be grown in almost any soil. Does equally well in sun or half shade 
and is quite hardy to cold. 15°.
