CLIMBING AND TRAILING PLANTS... 
Climbers soften harsh architectural features, conceal bare walls 
and fences, and perform many other useful tasks that make our 
homes and gardens more livable. Our list provides an assortment 
for every purnose, including ground covers for barren banks. It is 
designed to allow latitude for personal taste. You will find va- 
rieties with large foliage, varieties with small foliage, rampant 
or restrained climbers and flowers in all hues. Most climbers come 
in handy containers and may be planted at any season of the 
year. We find that best results are obtained by planting when the 

soil is fairly warm, when growth-resyonse is satisfyingly prompt.

BOUGAINVILLEA 
Care must be used when planting 
Bougainvilleas. They often have top

small root system. Handle plants

when planting, foliage wilts. Prune 
tops severely and do not give more 
than customary irrigation.

pink, large flowers, July to September. 

CLEMATIS LAWSONIA 
Success with Clematis depends greatly on 
the situation in which they are planted. The 
ideal planting site provides a cool shaded 
area for the roots and full sun or part shade 
for the tops. Shade can be provided for the 
roots by planting on the north or east side 
of a bushy shrub or by erecting a sun-shield 
of shingles near the base of the plants. Care 
must be taken in planting and tying. New 
stems are slender and brittle. Clematis sup- 
ports itself by means of tendrils that twist 
readily about a wire or string. 
Clematis ascotiensis. V9. Large, star-like 
flowers of azure blue. Blooms from July to 
September.
