BOUGAINVILLEA 
No vine is more typical of California than Bougainvillea with its 
lavish display of color, from the dry desert regions to the sea 
coast, on Spanish type houses and over walls and fences. In, 
planting be careful not to break ball of soil when removing from 
containers. This injury may cause them to die. Otherwise they 
are free and rapid growers.

hardiness and robust growth as braziliensis but with large bright 
red flowers. Gallon container $2.50, 5-gallon containers $7.50 
up. 
Bougainvillea braziliensis. Large showy rosy-purple flowers of a 
pleasing color produced in quantity most of the year, heaviest 
show in winter and spring. Hardiest of all. Sun. Gallon container 
$2.00, 5-gallon containers $5.00 up. 
Bougainvillea Crimson Lake. Rich bright deep crimson flowers 
most of the year. Very popular variety. Vigorous but fairly 
tender. Full sun. Gallon container $2.00, 5-gallon containers 
$5.00 up. 
Vines should be considered in all plantings, some for their 
foliage and others for their exquisite bloom. There are vines 
that will cling to masonry and wood without additional support 
such as Ampelopsis, Ficus and English Ivy. Others are depend- 
ent on trellis work on which they will naturally twine—Honey- 
suckle, Bignonia and many others. They are extremely valuabie 
to add interest to blank walls, to provide shade for arbors and 
summer houses, others to cover fences and walls. 

CLEMATIS, Large Flowering Varieties 
Available after April 1. 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 plant- 
ing 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 supports itself by means of tendrils that twist readily 
about a wire or string. Gallon containers $1.25.
