BIGNONIA VIOLACEA—LAVENDER TRUMPET VINE 
Virginia Creeper 
Ampelopsis Quinquefolia (Virginia Creeper). Beautiful large five 
fingered foliage covers this fast growing vine in the summer. In 
the fall the leaves turn a bright red, just before they drop. Gal. 
50c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Boston Ivy 
Ampelopsis Veitchi (Boston Ivy). This is a true creeping vine and 
will cling to almost any surface. It grows with unusual grace and 
beauty and the leaves take on a brilliant red coloring in early 
winter. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Coral Vine 
Antigonon leptopus. There are few vines that will present a 
more striking appearance than this one when it is in full bloom. 
The vine will put up a new top every year from a root which 
remains perennial, and as the top of the vine develops, great 
sprays of bright, rose pink flowers will be developed in great 
profusion over the entire area of the top. These flowers will 
appear in late summer. Gal. 50c. 
Trumpet Vines 
Bignonia chamberlayni (Yellow Trumpet Vine). This variety has 
large clusters of very brilliant yellow flowers which are borne in 
the summer on a background of luxuriant green foliage. This is a 
good strong grower and one that will show up to beautiful ad- 
vantage as a pergola covering. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Bignonia cherere (Scarlet Trumpet Vine). The flowers of this 
variety are a vivid scarlet color on the flaring part of the tube but 
the outside of the tube between the flare and the stem is a deep 
yellow, giving this vine a particularly outstanding appearance. 
This vine has a long blooming period covering the warmer months 
of the year. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $2.00. 
Bignonia Tweediana (Yellow Trumpet Vine). This variety will 
develop less foliage than some of the others, but because it 
grows extremely close to a wall and the manner in which the 
stems make a delicate tracery over the wall's face, make it par- 
ticularly desirable. The flowers are a clear, canary yellow. Gal. 50c. 
Bignonia Venusta (Flame Vine). This is one of the most showy 
of all of the Trumpet Vines because the individual flowers are 
somewhat larger than the others and are of a very vivid orange 
color. The foliage of this type is very luxuriant and when used as 
a pergola covering wiil form a riot of bloom during the winter. Gal. 
50c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Ornamental 
Vines 
Vines have many uses in the garden. Their graceful twining 
habit will decorate many an unsightly spot or provide cool, restful 
shade. Generally they require some sort of support—a trellis or 
arbor, tree, or merely wires. Others such as Ficus repens will cling 
directly to masonry walls. Some are extremely showy like Bougain- 
villeas and are regarded as much a part of the California landscape 
as are palms and oranges. 
Lavender Trumpet Vine 
BIGNONIA VIOLACEA (Lavender Trumpet Vine). We have al- 
ways considered this one of the best vines that can be planted in 
Southern California. Large, luxuriant, shiny foliage covers this vine 
the year around, coupled with the great profusion of delicate pale 
violet flowers of large proportions makes this a vine that is un- 
beatable. Blooms during late spring and early summer and is 
hardy enough to be planted in almost any location in Southern 
California. Can be planted in sun or shade and grows rapidly. 
Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Easter Lily Vine 
Beaumontia grandiflora. This is a very fast growing evergreen 
vine which has been brought to you from the tropics. The com- 
bination of large, lush green foliage with the heavy clusters of 
pure white, lily-shaped flowers that are about 6 inches long, make 
this one of the most beautiful vines to be used around our homes. 
Gal. 75c; 5-gal. $1.90. 
Bougainvilleas 
Bougainvillea crimson lake (Scarlet Bougainvillea). This beautiful 
native of Brazil is becoming more and more popular in Southern 
California because of the beautiful shade of its luxuriant bloom. 
With this vine the bracts are the showy part of the flower and 
they are a scarlet, brick red in color. These bracts, or flowers, 
are borne in great profusion during the summer and when used 
on a large pergola, or in a location where this large growing 
vine can grow freely, it makes a beautiful spectacle. Gal. 50c; 
5-gal. $1.70. 
Bougainvillea sanderiana (Paper Flower). This one is a lighter 
color than the old magenta variety which was so difficult to use 
in combination with other colors. You will not find this trouble 
with this type because the flower colors are several shades lighter 
than magenta and of a tone that will blend in well with other 
plantings around it. Gal. 50c. 
Bougainvillea Praetorius. One of the newest of the Bougainvillea 
family and possibly the best. Beautiful flowers of a bronze-yellow 
cover this vine most of the year. Rather tender and should be 
planted in a protected sunny location. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Campsidium 
Campsidium Australis. A very fast growing vine with beautiful 
dark green foliage. The foliage is very shiny and always looks 
just like it had been varnished. In the spring it is covered with 
small yellow-white flowers. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Evergreen Grape 
Cissus capensis. This is a wonderful evergreen vine to use where 
one wishes a mass of heavy foliage in either a sunny or shady 
location. The beautiful leaves made up of five separate lobes, 
form an extremely attractive covering for the small, sturdy stems. 
This vine grows as true climber, but does not cling to a wall sur- 
face as the Ivies do. Small clusters of very dark blue grapes are 
borne on the vine which are not edible as compared to regular 
arapes. Gal. 50c-60c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Cissus Rhombifolium. An excellent small vine with dark shiny 
evergreen foliage. Will grow in either sun or shade and is very 
fine for window boxes. l-gal. 50c-60c. 
Creeping Fig 
Ficus repens. This is a true member of the fig or rubber family 
and a vine that makes a very heavy growth, once it is established, 
although it is frequently very slow in getting started in a new 
location. The first stems that are put out cling very tightly to 
any wall surface, are very delicate in their leaf arrangement and 
as the vine grows older, the leaves become much larger and more 
massive. Gal. 40c.
